The Governor was addressing hundreds of women from the state at Yambio Cultural Center where he advised them on behavior change. He called upon the women to change their dress code to be in line with societal norms and take the lead in advising their daughters about the importance of education. “Nearly all of our girls are going off track because of some of you mothers allow your daughters to get married at early ages,” said Bakosoro. Bakosoro said women need knowledge in business management so as to prosper in business. At the function, the Governor donated 10,000 South Sudanese Pounds to assist the women to organise their meetings. He said the unity of women is the unity of the nation. A participant at the meeting Grace Minisare said women face difficulties in running their businesses because of high taxation and scarcity of dollars in the state.
