Padare, an organization dedicated to working with men and boys to foster a gender-just society, extends warm regards to women across Zimbabwe, Africa, and the world.
In commemorating this important occasion, Padare emphasizes the critical need for state investments in women and efforts to accelerate their progress.
The organization stresses the importance of committed and effective financing for women’s issues, advocating for equitable inclusion in all agendas affecting women and their communities.
Padare underscores the necessity for women-centered financing mechanisms to ensure fair and comprehensive benefits for women alongside other members of society.
While Zimbabwe is a signatory to various national, regional, and international protocols on gender equality, Padare notes a gap between rhetoric and implementation.
Despite clear mandates outlined in the Zimbabwean Constitution, the lack of implementation strategies hinders progress.
Padare urges the Zimbabwean government to promptly establish and implement strategies prioritizing gender equality and women’s issues.
The organization emphasizes that sustainable national development cannot be achieved when a significant portion of the population faces poverty, lack of access to resources, and pervasive gender-based violence.
Meaningful steps must be taken to address these challenges and create an enabling environment for women’s empowerment and advancement.
Padare calls for collaborative efforts from government, civil society, and the private sector to work towards a more just and equitable society for all.
