Levels of violence against women are astonishing, Sexual violence in particular is rampant but levels of reporting are low. The few media reports we see are done poorly and insensitively failing to recognize the survivors of such violence as human beings that should be respected, protected and who have a right to privacy. This media approach deters many women from seeking justice as they fear stigmatization should their cases be made public and reported in a manner that blames them for the violence that they suffered. Newspapers report court proceedings in which young girls (minors) have given birth to children of their abusers.
Being the most confident you: THM
Thursday, 14 July 2011 12:19
Let me just ask you: what is life like without confidence? What is the quality of your relationship without confidence? What do you achieve in your life without confidence? How do you FEEL, on a day-to-day basis without confidence? The answer is: crap. Confidence is everything. If you don’t have unshakable confidence, then you’ll probably never live your dreams. If you know my work, you know that I talk a lot about becoming an empowered woman, but that’s just too big a topic to delve into here.

Like in many Southern African countries, women in Zambia are still underrepresented in government and nongovernmental organizations – and particularly in leadership positions.

Papers have written, researchers have concluded that that early marriage is one of the courses of poverty and the underdevelopment of the underdeveloped. In my opinion it is quiet vice versa on the actual ground. Conversations with women from Epworth and Hopley have enlightened me on the cause’s of early marriages in high densities of Zimbabwe. One of the main reasons was poverty that is parents are failing to meet up with educational demands that is school fees, books, uniforms and examinations fees.

To me it was just like any other morning ,hot as early as 8am making it difficult to have what I like the most, tea but I went on to have it anyway .To my sister however, the same morning was not only hot but the worst in her life. Sipping my tea, I heard footsteps at the doorstep ,the owner appeared with a gloomy face ,I tried to put on a smile on my face ,ready to celebrate ,but no ,it did not propagate a replica on the other face .
Telling our Stories- Perspectives

By Elizabeth R.S Muchemwa
Let me begin by saying, I am no expert. I am just an artist trying to get recognition and appreciation for the medium I use and adore: theatre. Even though I am no expert I have learned and observed enough to form a valid opinion. Every art form tells a story such that each art piece is a story in itself and theatre is no exception. This article serves to look at the tellers of story, the subjects in the stories and the listeners/audience to these stories in theatre.
Secrets from a woman’s diary

The Pleasure was all yours
Last night I went to bed in a very horny mood(like I almost always do) Of course a good African woman is not supposed to divulge such details, we are all meant to be well behaved and disciplined only having sex in the missionary position, we are not to initiate sex we wait for it to be initiated then we are meant to quietly open our legs, lie still and let the man have his way!
