Democracy: Moving beyond rhetoric!

Every year on September 15, the world observes the International Day of Democracy, a reminder that democracy thrives when all voices are heard and citizens are empowered to participate. Today, I join the global community in celebrating this day, which also serves as a call to action for the government of Zimbabwe and others in the region to strengthen women’s representation in leadership, politics, and governance, ensuring that democracy is truly inclusive.

I celebrate the strides that have been made by our government in promoting gender equality, which include the introduction of the 60-seat quota in the House of Assembly for women.
