Men's forum pushes for more women in politics
Source: Chronicle
Men’s Forum on Gender is pushing for the enactment of electoral laws that compel political parties to implement the 50/50 gender representation in their structures before being allowed to contest in an election.
Padare/Enkundleni is a men and boys’ organisation that seeks to achieve gender justice in society.
It is piloting a project for Enhancing Women Political Participation (EWPP) in Hwange, Bulawayo, Harare and Chipinge in partnership with International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (Idea).
The Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development is a coordinating partner.
Other countries with a similar programme are Botswana, Eswatini, DRC, Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania.
Padare/Enkundleni is conducting a workshop which is being attended by representatives from Zanu-PF and MDC Alliance in Hwange and Chipinge districts in Victoria Falls to engage political parties towards the agenda of capacitating women and enhancing their participation in politics.
