Gender
analysis per party
The graphical
illustration below clearly shows how the representation of women
in terms of candidature in the forthcoming election. As shown above,
ZANU PF has the greatest number of women candidates and this might
be attributed to the party's will to comply by the SADC Protocol
on Gender Equality and representation in Parliament to which Zimbabwe
is a signatory. The protocol states that by 2005 every SADC state
should be having at least 30% women representation in power. In
this instance ZANU PF is fielding more candidates for the coming
election as compared to the MDC. This is a very welcome position
that has been taken but the main opposition party still needs to
do more on meeting the gender representation requirements.
