Zimbabwe: Gender revolution needed

Morgan Tsvangirai

"Often Zimbabwean women show a deep level of mistrust over their exclusion in key decision-making processes, in politics, in public administration, in management and in the allocation of national resources. The issue is rooted in our history. It is true that women have been denied their space, by customary laws, tradition and patriarchy, by colonialism and exploitation, through political oppression and by certain biased practices in our African culture. It is true that they lead a life characterized by obstacles which demand serious attention and long term solutions."
