She highlighted the importance of coexistence in a democracy, acknowledging the diversity of political affiliations but calling for mutual respect.
The press briefing emphasized solidarity in tackling violence against women in elections, with stakeholders urging immediate action to protect women’s rights and dignity in the political space.
