She challenged the women to go out and sensitize the public about the significant of the census exercise in Liberia.

Madam Endee who is also the Chairlady for LISGIS Mobilization Committee, reminded the women that census taking was beyond political, ethnic and cultural boundary, and as such, they should encourage residents of their communities to participate in the counting process.

Madam Endee further noted that the women have been deployed throughout the Liberia to inform the people about the census.
