Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZIMBABWEAN women are impacted by the effects of climate change but are excluded from decision-making processes, Zimbabwe Gender Commission chairperson Margaret Mukahanana-Sangarwe has said.<\/p>\n

Mukahanana-Sangarwe was speaking during the National Gender Forum, which addressed challenges affecting gender equality due to climate change in Gwanda, Matabeleland South province, recently.<\/p>\n

The National Gender Forum was held under the theme Gender, Environment and Climate Change: Building Resilience and Sustainable Development through Gender Equality.<\/p>\n

In her address, Mukahanana-Sangarwe said the commemorations were held at a time when several environmental and climate change challenges were taking a toll on women in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

She identified the challenges as environmental degradation, water, land and air pollution, mounting water and sanitation challenges, human-wildlife conflict and wetland disruption, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen, in particular, bear the brunt of these challenges as they rely heavily on natural resources for their livelihoods and are often excluded from decision-making processes related to environment and climate change issues,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mukahanana-Sangarwe said the connection among gender, environment and climate change in Zimbabwe was very complex and multifaceted.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy understanding these interconnected factors, we can work towards gender-equitable solutions that address the unique challenges faced by women in the context of environment and climate change through adopting gender-sensitive approaches to climate resilience and environmental sustainability,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa said this year\u2019s theme was timely and resonated well with prevailing challenges the country and indeed the world is grappling with.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe devastating impact of climate change, if not addressed, threatens to derail progress towards achieving the National Development Strategy 1 as well as gender equality gains made over the years,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, therefore, calls for a multi-sectoral approach in addressing the environment and climate change challenges we face today including the gendered impacts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa said there was a need to move from policy to practice by implementing the existing gender responsive environment and climate change laws and policies.<\/p>\n
