The half-day interface is scheduled for the Multi-Purpose Hall at the New Parliament Building in Mt Hampden.

Speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda, made the announcement in the august House yesterday.

“I have to inform the House that the Parliament of Zimbabwe will host a half-day sensitisation workshop in preparation for the 16 days of activism against Gender-Based Violence, on Friday, 17th November, 2023, in the Multi-Purpose Hall, New Parliament Building.

“All Members of the Zimbabwe Women’s Parliamentary Caucus and He-For-She Champions are invited to attend this workshop. Friday interface starts from 0830 hours in the morning and it will end at 1300 hours,” said Mudenda.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign led annually by UN Women, which runs every year from November 25 (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day).

The 2023 campaign will be held under the theme “Unite: Invest to prevent violence against women and girls”.
