National girls’ and young women’s empowerment framework in Zimbabwe

This is the first ever National girls’ and young women’s empowerment framework outlines the government’s commitment to the empowerment of girls and young women through ensuring that they actively and effectively participate at all levels of social, economic, and political development.

In all areas of society, gender equality has become the norm and universally accepted principles of human rights. This concept extends to the recognition that girls and young women are unique individuals with rights and responsibilities similar to those of boys and young men. Empowering women and girls is essential to achieving gender equality, where females and males have equal enjoyment of their rights, resources, opportunities, and benefits.
