Speaker of the National Assembly Advocate Jacob Mudenda has challenged civil society organisations dealing with gender issues to target men in their advocacy work as way of achieving gender equality. He said this yesterday during a signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding between Parliament and the Zimbabwe Women's Lawyers Association.
