Women should take up powerful political posts: Chinomona

WOMEN should take up powerful political positions in the country as most policies that affect them were being crafted by men.

This was said by Senate president Mabel Chinomona last Friday at a breakfast meeting in Harare, which was organised by the Women in Politics Support Unit (Wipsu) to discuss women and leadership in politics.

In Zimbabwe, the number of women parliamentarians increased from 16% in 2013 to 34% in 2018 after the Constitution provided for a quota system that sets aside 60 seats for women proportional representation in Parliament.
