WOMEN'S MONTH

 "WA THINTA A BAFAZI WA THINTHA IMBOKODO"

Operation Phakama has joined women by showing support in their quest to fight against gender based-violance and support them in ensuring their rightful place in society.

We repeat the slogan "wa thinta a bafazi wa thintha imbokodo" you strike a woman, you strike a rock.

Gender based violence remains one of the most persistent human rights violations in the world today. 

To ensure every woman and girl can live free from violence, we must transform the gender norms which underpin violence, while addressing the connection between violence at the individual and systemic level.

Operartion Phakama supports women to implement survivor-centred and rights-based approaches to sexual and gender based violence across the spectrum from prevention to response, services, and access to justice. 

Opertion Phakama works with women’ on conflict prevention, and to advocate for and contribute to robust reporting frameworks and accountability under national and international legal and policy frameworks relating to gender based violence, including the women peace and security agenda.

Women have the right to lead and make decisions in all spheres – from their homes and communities to global spaces.

Increasing diverse women’s access to leadership and expanding space for civil society is critical to transforming power.

We support safe spaces for feminist movements to come together to resist backlash, advance progress on gender equality and advocate for meaningful space for civil society.
