Demos Expose Women : ZWIPA.
Zimbabwe Women in Politics Alliance notes with concern the growing culture by the Elite politicians of continuously exposing women to vulnerable situations in the name of demonstrations.
Research has shown that the demonstrations lack merit, sincerity and meaningful taste as it is a known fact that there are ulterior motives beyond what the protests are supposed to achieve. Poorly planned protests have been yielding negative results to the detriment of women who often face abuse in the process.
Women are the natural caregivers to those that would have been injured during these demonstrations.
Whilst women have got dozens of packed problems the same politicians have never initiated a meaningful campaign to promote and defend women's rights. Instead they are on record of abusing and harassing them physically and sexually.
If Politicians who are mainly men in the lead were sincere about women's issues, we wouldn't be crying over our constitutionally given 50/50 consideration today. Women have been reduced to mere brooms for men and patriarchal gatekeepers.
Today they are a tool used to shield men in their selfish agendas in the form of Power Games disguised as peaceful demonstrations.
Women have burning issues neglected by these male politicians and should wake up and begin to focus on the struggle of their own not to become full time victims of political power mongers.
Women have been historically marginalized for a long time, sidelined in women's assemblies and in political parties and sexually harassed at the workplace.
As ZWIPA we declare 2019 as the women's year to move out of their fake comfort zones and ensure gender balance as enshrined in section 17 of the constitution of Zimbabwe.
Women constitute 54% of the population of Zimbabwe yet they remain marginalized, poor and abused. We will not tolerate any form of abuse against women and misogyny in 2019.
