This week will be celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) week, Zimbabwe is deeply intertwined with the country’s broader struggle for gender equality, women’s rights, and social justice. Celebrated globally on March 8th, IWD has been observed in Zimbabwe for decades, evolving in focus and significance alongside the nation’s political, social, and economic changes.

International Women’s Day in Zimbabwe has evolved from a day of recognition to a powerful platform for advocacy and action. It reflects the resilience and determination of Zimbabwean women, who have fought for their rights and continue to push for a more equitable society. While progress has been made, challenges remain, and IWD serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality in Zimbabwe and beyond.
