A delegation of Zimbabweans comprising government officials
and non-governmental organisations has arrived in New York for the United
Nations 63rd Commission on the Status of Women (CSW).
The official opening of the CSW conference is expected
today. This year’s theme is centered on provision of infrastructure and social
services.
The First Lady Amai Auxillia Mnangagwa through her Angel of
Hope Foundation is attending the conference.
She has contributed immensely to the economic and social
development of women in marginalised communities.
Last year, the First Lady participated at the same
conference and showcased some of her works that included the free cervical and
breast cancer screening, inheritance awareness programme and empowerment
projects among others.
Last year the theme was centered on empowerment of women
who live in rural areas.
Senate President Cde Marble Chinomona is one of the senior
officials who travelled ahead and is already in New York, while the African
Goodwill Ambassador on Ending Child Marriage Nyaradzai Gumbonzvanda is among
representatives from different non-governmental organisations who are
participating. zbc
