Zambia: Need for a Revolution in Women's Movement

There is need for a revolution in the women's movement in preparation for the 2006 general elections, Federation for Free Trade Unions (FFTUZ) president Joyce Nonde has said. In an interview, Nonde said time was running out for the women in the country. "There needs to be a revolt among the women because as I see, very few women will participate in elections and we will have the same scenario where women are under represented and this should not be encouraged," Nonde said. She called on women organisations countrywide to start identifying and encouraging capable women to participate in next year's elections.
