GOVERNMENT COMMENCE THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING MALE ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY.

By Ennie Kishiki Mutepuka

Copperbelt Minister, Elisha Matambo, says the government has commenced the process of developing the male engagement strategy.

Mr. Matambo, said this strategy will spotlight men as allies in the fight against GBV further calling on the private sector and cooperating partners to strengthen male engagements in Gender Based Violence (GBV).

Speaking during the commemoration of International Men's Day yesterday, Mr. Matambo, who was represented by Copperbelt Permanent Secretary, Lawrence Mwanza, said one way of strengthening male engagements in GBV and denouncing violence against women and girls and promoting a culture of respect, equality, and empowerment is by speaking out against GBV and supporting survivors.

Mr. Matambo, further called on political leaders, to amplify the national discourse on men's role in ending GBV and further inspire men and boys to take proactive action against GBV and support women's and girls' rights.

And Mr. Matambo, further appealed to traditional and religious leaders to ban child marriage and spearhead community dialogues for positive masculinity.

He has since urged the media to showcase and generate national media content that promotes gender equitable social norms.

GOVERNMENT URGED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION IN MITIGATING IMPACT OF CALAMITIES.

By Ennie Kishiki Mutepuka

FIAN Zambia, an organization that advocates for the right to food, has urged the Government and the international community to take immediate, coordinated action to ensure that the impact of calamities in the future is mitigated.

FIAN Zambia, has released new findings showing that the 2023–2024 drought caused grave violations of the Right to Food and Nutrition and other fundamental rights for rural communities in Nyimba District, one of the areas hardest hit by the national disaster.

The organization stressed that policy gaps, including weak early warning systems, dependence on maize, and limited crop diversity in National programmes such as the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) worsened the crisis.

FIAN Zambia, Country Coordinator, Vladmir Chilinya, explained that between December 2023 and March 2024, FIAN Zambia documented the experiences of 700 households across 21 villages in Nyalungwe Chiefdom stating that the results reveal widespread hunger, loss of livelihoods, acute water shortages, and a dramatic decline in living conditions.

Mr. Chilinya, said the drought destroyed crops across roughly 700 hectares, leaving most families eating only one meal a day with the failure of wild fruits and forest foods, households had no fallback food sources further mentioned that wells dried up forcing women and children to walk long distances or fetch water from open and unsafe sources such as the Luangwa River while many children missed school due to long queues for water.

FIAN Zambia has since warned that the situation constitutes serious violations of human rights and undermines Zambia’s obligations under international and national law, including the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

EMPOWERING WOMEN ECONOMICALLY A CRUCIAL STEP IN REDUCING GBV.

By Ennie Kishiki Mutepuka

Radical Entrepreneur and Influencer, Dumisani Ncube, says empowering women economically can be a crucial step in reducing gender-based violence.

Speaking during a GRZ, UNFPA and SAT on engaging Men and Boys for Gender Equality and GBV prevention, Mr. Ncube, believes that when women have financial independence, they are more likely to feel confident in leaving abusive relationships or standing up for their rights.

Mr. Ncube, said entrepreneurship can be a powerful tool for women's empowerment, allowing them to build their own businesses and support themselves and their families.

He explained that some potential benefits of empowering women through entrepreneurship are Increased financial independence, Improved self-confidence and self-esteem.

Mr. Ncube, said by supporting women's economic empowerment, the Country can help create a more equitable and just society where women have the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
