Women have often taken
the back seat particularly when it comes to participation in national processes
and civic programming. This is largely prevalent in Africa where women have
blamed culture for silencing them; as women are viewed as inferior and are not
accorded space to air their views.
At a young women’s
study circle organized by the National Youth Development Trust in the western suburb
of Magwegwe, young women spoke out on why they do not actively participate in
national processes and civic programming.
