Zimbabwe: 'Target Men in Advocacy Work'

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.

"While I appreciate the importance of conscientising women on their rights, it is equally important to focus the advocacy efforts on the forces of resistance, who in this case, are the chauvinistic men, the political parties, community leaders such as chiefs and headmen as well as the corporate world," he said.
