Women with disabilities commend the domestication of the UNCRPD through the adoption of the National Disability Policy, but continue to lobby for the Enactment of the Persons with Disability Bill as the policy is not legally binding

We believe that applying a #GenderLens to #DisabilityInclusive development work can increase awareness about how development programmes and projects can impact women, men, girls, and boys with disabilities differently #LeaveNoOneBehind #16DaysofActivism2022

This Indaba seeks to review Government of Zimbabwe,duty bearers and stakeholders ’progress in ensuring #disabilityinclusion , implementing the Convention on the (CRPD), the #NationalDisabilityPolicy , a year after its launch, and presenting key Policy areas for prioritization.

This Indaba acknowledges that for an #inclusive and #equitableworld , #effectivedevelopment outcomes will need to include strategies where disability inclusive development and gender equality work together. #LeaveNoOneBehind #16DaysofActivism2022

In his remarks the EU Delegation to Zimbabwe 🇪🇺 representative mentioned the work of EU in promoting disability rights across all levels & that violence against women & girls is unacceptable hence must be put to justice & victims must also receive necessary support

In her opening remarks, WCoZ Vice Chairperson Charity Mandishona stated that the exclusion experienced by women & girls with disabilities is not simply a women’s issue or a women with disabilities issue, but a social issue that requires active participation of all
#leavenoonebehind

This Inclusion Indaba is an #accountabilityplatform to rally together women in demanding accountability towards implementation of section 56 of the Constitution, particularly on equality and non-discrimination of PWDs. #16DaysofActivism2022

The national Inclusive indaba also seek to cement a coalition building between OPDs and the Women's Movement in Addressing Intersectional Discrimination in a bid to create a Violence Free Society for Women and Girls with Disabilities #16DaysofActivism2022

#INCLUSION requires that we remove the negative attitudes & administrative complications that deprive PWDs from obtaining the benefits of available entitlements.
