ACTING PRESIDENT Dr Constantino Chiwenga has received a special award from the African Leadership and Women’s Network on behalf of President Mnangagwa in recognition of

efforts in promoting women’s rights and their inclusion in leadership roles.

The Government has made huge strides in aligning the justice system to protect women’s rights, including the Inheritance Act and the Marriages Act, which prohibits child marriages.

Efforts to strengthen economic empowerment and inclusion have further supported women’s leadership in various sectors.

Zimbabwe proudly features women in prominent leadership positions, including Defence Minister and ZANU PF chairperson Cde Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri, as well as a female Attorney-General (Mrs Virginia Mabiza), Prosecutor-General (Justice Loyce Matanda-Moyo) and Cde Mabel Chinomona, who serves as the President of the Senate, among others.
