‘Women’s right impinged during COVID-19’

WOMEN all over the world  are said to have been the worst affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shamwari YeMwanasikana national director Ekenia Chifamba said there were many factors that contributed to the tribulations that women faced during the COVID-19 lockdown period, which included failure to  access justice and maternity services among many other services.

Chifamba (EC) told NewsDay (ND) reporter Lorraine Muromo that the situation could have been corrected if efforts were made to ensure women’s protection in the midst of the deadly pandemic.
