Swapo's gender quota shifts women's political attitudes in Namibia

The News

A study of Namibia's Swapo party quota policy, which alternated men and women on parliamentary candidate lists from 2013, found that women's representation in the National Assembly rose from 21% to 41% in the 2014 election. Women in Swapo strongholds subsequently became significantly more supportive of women's political leadership, while men showed no backlash, suggesting exposure to women leaders can reshape attitudes about gender and political capacity.

  1. African health worker migration rooted in colonial power structures

    A health education researcher argues that the migration of healthcare workers from poorer to wealthier countries is not simply driven by individual choice, but is shaped by colonial legacies and global inequality. Solutions require African governments to invest in local retention and working conditions, while high-income countries must reduce reliance on international recruitment and reform global knowledge hierarchies that devalue non-Western expertise.

  1. AI health chatbots fail to improve patient self-diagnosis

    A study found that people using AI chatbots were less likely to correctly identify medical conditions and no better at determining where to seek care than those using conventional sources. While the chatbots possess medical knowledge and can pass licensing exams, real-world use suffers from communication failures between humans and machines, such as users missing mentioned diagnoses or providing incomplete information.

  1. Four anti-inflammatory foods to boost good cholesterol

    HDL or "good" cholesterol removes excess bad cholesterol from arteries and protects artery walls, reducing cardiovascular disease risk when in higher ratio to LDL. Foods like fruits and vegetables, oily fish, olive oil, fermented dairy, and moderate red wine reduce inflammation and help improve HDL levels and cholesterol ratios.
