Ethiopia
Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, in October 2018, made a political reshuffle that has now seen women ministers making up a record 50 per cent of the new cabinet, in other words, 10 of the 20 positions have gone to women. The historic appointments include the job of the defence minister that is being handled by Aisha Mohammed, making her the first woman to hold that position in the country.
“Our women ministers will disprove the old adage that women can’t lead,” Ahmed told the country’s parliament as he outlined his choices. The prime minister also appointed female chief justice, president, and electoral commission chief. Ahmed, who has promised to deal with ethnic conflicts in his country, is optimistic that the women he has brought on board his government would help in restoring peace and stability.
