Samoalive News - The Latest Samoa News Headlines - Does Samoa need more women matai?

Six pretty brave members of the Samoan community are debating on the issue: Samoa needs more women matais, today at the SamoaTel conference room.  So does Samoa need more women matais?  How about this, some men matais are making a grand mess of things, maybe we do need more women matais.  As a woman of course my answer would be yes.  When it comes to issues of gender, this writer will gladly flag objectivity for the right to speak freely on issues of our side, so to speak.  The only other Editorial writers in this country are all male, which leaves this lone writer to defend with a fierce pride the rights of women in this country.
