Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>IThemba for Girls Trust (IGT) Zimbabwe joins the world in commemorating International Women\u2019s Day with the #ChooseToChallenge.<\/p>\n

We join all those who have chosen to challenge the old standing stereotypes and patriarchal norms that perpetuate Gender Inequality.<\/p>\n

Such norms have to come to an end. We believe that any country that is serious with any form of development should take Gender Equality seriously because there\u2019s no way a country can truly say they are developed without women and girls fully represented in every sector of the nation.<\/p>\n

We strongly believe that both women and girls have a role to play in the development of their communities and their countries. Human\u2019s Rights are Women\u2019s Rights as well.<\/p>\n

If a man\u2019s voice matters, then a woman\u2019s voice matters too. If a boy\u2019s education is important then a girls\u2019 education is important too.<\/p>\n

As such this year\u2019s #ChooseToChallenge is befitting in challenging everyone who believes in Gender Equality to rise and fight to eradicate those ideas, those stereotypes and those institutions that have remained a barrier towards the achievement of Gender Equality.<\/p>\n

We cannot achieve equality in the boardroom without having achieved equality in the classroom and in every household. We need to treat our children the same in our homes and in our classrooms.<\/p>\n

#ChooseToChallenge is a wake-up call to women and girls as well. Women and girls should be confident enough to claim leadership positions because no one is going to hand them over to them.<\/p>\n

Everyone is challenged to rise and play a meaningful role in the fight for Gender Equality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
