8th March 2021
As we continue to celebrate #IWD2021, members of the South Branch of ROHR Zimbabwe namely Thabani Muleya, Sheilla Mironga, Laina Murape and Shalom Gunda made the following offering;
A tribute to Zimbabwean Women
Resilience is the face of Zimbabwean women. Their talents range from keepers at home, doctors, writers, painters, accountants, nurses, teachers, activists, politicians, healthcare workers and all walks of life.
Most of these unapologetic, goal-pursuing heroes have been forced to relocate to escape the toxic suffocating winds in Zimbabwe. A sacrifice they had to make to allow growth and be in better stead to face the formidable challenge of resuscitating a nation with their hands tied. These women stand with #DemLoot as the hostile tool withholding international and natural resources. The challenges faced by women in Zimbabwe include but are not limited to:
▪ watching government bulldozers demolish family shelters built by women through blood sweat and tears in desperate attempts to shield the family
▪ Domestic abuse
▪ The arrest of women activists and politicians
▪ Forced sexual favours in return of promotion in the workplace
▪ Government orchestrated abductions and sexual abuse
▪ Lack of support for the girl child i.e.child molestations, child marriages, girl child labour instead of schooling.
The women on the ground are facing the gruelling arid temperatures from within Zimbabwe.
We take our hats off to these unsung heroes. With their uncrushed spirits we see them refusing to bow down to oppression, standing in the face of a relentless brutal husband-the Government, who refuses to reward initiative.
This day ROHR Zimbabwe acknowledges your pain woman of Zimbabwe.
We acknowledge your labour of love
We acknowledge your perseverant nature
May you grow from strength to strength in your geographical location on earth as you remain resolute for your country-ZIMBABWE
