The inequality between men & women remains the major contributing factor to women’s exploitation in workplaces. Women’s output is undervalued. #WorkersDay #purplepolitics
Education is a powerful tool for reducing gender inequality as it empowers women to be better positioned to advocate for their rights. By being educated & empowered, women can challenge discriminatory practices & contribute to creating a more equitable society. #BeyondBarriers
The struggle for #Equality is still on, 44 years after gaining colonial independence. The call for #womensrepresentation continues, till we reach 50/50 #WomenLeadingCommunities #ZimbabweAt44
#ZimbabweAt44 means a reflection of women's influence on policy decisions that directly impact their lives & of other women in Zimbabwe. Women politicians are instrumental in advocating for policies related to gender equality, healthcare, education, and economic empowerment.
Independence means women can have access to education because they go #BeyondBarriers such as societal norms, financial constraints and household obligations. Women can make choices about their representation and pursuing leadership roles #ZimbabweAt44 #WomenLeadingCommunities
Independence Day holds a special significance for women as it serves as a reminder of the struggles & achievements of those who fought for women’s rights & equality. Yet 44 years on, we are regressing on #womensrepresentation in corridors of power & leadership. #ZimbabweAt44
What matters for many ordinary women are central bank policies that allow them to trade, realise profits and provide for their families. Women in the informal sector worry about their ability to transact with money in its physical format. #InspireInclusion #womensrepresentation
Women’s empowerment also involves opening up channels of information & access to natural resources and extractive industries where their existence is minimal. With a clear-cut approach, natural resources can equally benefit all. #InspireInclusion #womensrepresentation
Cabinet’s declaration of cholera free districts reduces the burden on many women who bear the brunt of unpaid household care work. Without letting their guard down, equipping the health sector with necessary resources can bring reprieve to communities. #womensrepresentation
Gender gaps in education further reflect on the political leadership representation. To date, many societies are yet to close the gap created by archaic patriarchal norms that favored educating boys as compared to girls. #BeyondBarriers #LetsGo5050 #womensrepresentation
Out of 18 indicators for achieving #GenderEquality by 2030, only 1 is close to target. At the current rate, it will take 140 years for equality to be realised in political & workplace leadership, where women are under-represented. #SDG5 #BeyondBarriers #womensrepresentation
An inclusive society considers the perspectives of its citizens. Everyone’s views & participation in society matters without any element of discrimination and violence. What are you contributing towards your community’s progress? #Conscience #womensrepresentation #purplepolitics
Women’s leadership is important in raising awareness and improving resilience in disasters such as drought as they have better knowledge of community needs. Their involvement at local level governance directly impacts daily lives of citizens. #womensrepresentation #BeyondBarriers
