South Africa commemorated Freedom Day last week at a time when a majority of people, especially women, continue to have little to celebrate almost two decades into our democracy
Zimbabwe’s new Constitution should give women and girls enough reason to celebrate, however, more needs to be done to ensure they enjoy their constitutional rights
Gender organisations require money and space in order to tackle gender-based violence and contribute towards finding sustainable solutions to this problem
The move by Swaziland to ban mini-skirts on the grounds that they are ‘indecent’ contradicts the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development which it ratified late last year
Southern African countries should invest in empowering women to participate in growing their economies and better understand their constitutional rights in order to be free from gender-based violence
