Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Women are being excluded from the benefits of natural resources, warns Gra\u00e7a Machel, former first lady of Mozambique and South Africa.<\/p>\n

Production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Rovuma basin is expected to start within months. Mozambique has one of the largest gas reserves in the world, and Gra\u00e7a Machel reminds us that everyone should benefit from natural resources and land, including women.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccess to resources is a right, in the same way that women have the right to education and health. But I have heard very little from feminist movements about access to resources,\u201d Gra\u00e7a Machel said while participating this Monday and Tuesday (19-20\/04) in an umbrella meeting of feminist movements from Portuguese-speaking African countries in Maputo.<\/p>\n

Machel asked organisations to unite and speak with one voice, the better to be heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy meeting here and talking about women, we have to have a clear and deep awareness that we are talking about millions of women, not just the hundreds or thousands that we can identify through the organisations that are present here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Greater political participation<\/b><\/p>\n

The leaders of organisations defending women\u2019s interests demanded greater political, economic and social participation for women.<\/p>\n

Alice Banze, from the organisation Womens\u2019 Academy For Africa (WAFA), regretted that many women still do not have access to decision-making processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese dialogues aim to revitalise the movement and also defend gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls with the aim of advocating for greater representation of women in decision-making processes,\u201d Banze said.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s representation<\/b><\/p>\n

In the new Mozambican Council of Ministers [cabinet] , for example, there are 11 men and 11 women. But for Liberation Front of Mozambique (Frelimo) deputy Telmina Pereira, \u201cthe challenges persist to raise the representation of women even more, until we also reach parity in parliament, that is, 50% women and 50% men\u201d.<\/p>\n

Parliamentary representation of women in Mozambique stands at 42.4%. Cape Verde follows little behind, with 38.9%, but in Angola, only 29.6% of deputies are women.<\/p>\n

The meeting this Monday and Tuesday in Maputo brought together activists from all provinces of Mozambique and from Portuguese-speaking African countries Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe.<\/p>\n
