Very true that women are marginalised

I must applaud the article on women being less represented in Zim parliament and in politics in general. Keep it up ladies!
I am a man, however, the truth must be told and confronted head on. Representation must be proportional. That's what the new world democracy need. Women and people with disabilities must be represented in parliament. Not a fake representation.
I was appalled to see a video were a Zim soldier pointed a gun at a vendor, an old women carrying her goods for sale. I still feel ashamed. That soldier must be ashamed too. Pointing a gun at a vulnerable, weak woman is deplorable! Surely, a Zim soldier can do better than that. People with disability, children and women need our protection in a normal society, hence I salute courageous women.
Keep it up ladies! Precious, punch the right buttons for women! Nomazulu, never ever give up on touching the lives of the weak and the exposed. They need your support and encouragement! MaiMujuru, you are a role model to young courageous women out there! Priscillar, your nerve-wrecking positive utterances are uplifting to the vulnerable women and girls. Free speech! Talk your mind out! And many more Zim women not mentioned, keep on pushing for equality in all sectors. I believe that one day, this world will be a peaceful place to live in.
