This publication reflects on the critical areas, achievements
and challenges of the Women of Zimbabwe following the
Covid-19 pandemic.
During the period under review, WCoZ
• co-ordinated national, regional and international
advocacy action on gender equality by promoting
reform and equal participation of women;
• condemned sexual and gender-based violence;
• led a review of regional and international
instruments for the realisation of women’s rights,
participation and technical contribution to
the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 2 and
Marriage Bill; and
• advocated for gendered response to the Covid-19
pandemic.
There seems to be no immediate reprieve to the extreme
poverty women in Zimbabwe are having and have had to endure.
