‘Women, girls ignorant of their rights’

The Constitution of Zimbabwe provides for gender balance in decision-making and leadership, but sadly, many women and girls are still unaware of their rights and how to exercise them, activists have noted.

While calls have been made for equitable and equal participation of women in all spheres of life, there is a growing need to train women to understand their rights and put them into practice.

“Such trainings contribute in transforming power relations and promote justice, equality, peace and sustainable development,” said Aziza Abemba, executive director of Women’s Self-Promotion Movement (WSPM).
