Tanzanian diplomat Ami Mpungwe on Tuesday, March 8, said that gone are the days when muscles would determine a person’s power hence the need to embrace gender equality for the general good of prosperity in a country.
Gracing ‘The Citizen Rising Woman Initiative Symposium’, Mr Mpungwe – who is Tanzania’s former ambassador to South Africa – said the current world was all about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which focuses on issues of big data, the race between human brain and artificial intelligence, analytics and block chain technologies among others.
“It’s no longer a question of muscles, which is the only thing that men have been depending on, that they feel stronger than women. The world we are living today is no longer of physical strength. It is mental strength that drives it. It is the capability to organise and manage it better that matters,” he said during the event that went with the theme: ‘Women in Leadership Equality today for a sustainable tomorrow’.
