The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has called on media practitioners and society to portray women in their right perspective as contributors to national development.
Press and Public Relations Director in the Ministry of Information Juliana Mwila said it is unfortunate that women especially house wives are still stereotyped despite their significant contribution towards the wellbeing of families and the country as a whole.
Mrs. Mwila called on the media to intensively highlight gender-based ills going on in communities so that both men and women can be protected. She said there is now a lot of importance attached to gender hence the need for those in the information dissemination field to understand new concepts and to enable them inform and educate society.
Mrs. Mwila was speaking in Lusaka today when she officially opened a Gender Mainstreaming workshop for Ministry of Information members of staff. She said the workshop is the first of its kind and will enable Ministry of Information employees understand gender issues.
Mrs. Mwila said empowering Information dissemination with new concepts and trends surrounding gender issues will enable them report accurately and effectively.
And in his presentation, Ministry of Gender and Development Division- GIDD Acting Permanent Secretary, Joe Kapembwa said gender affirmative actions should look at who is affected negatively.
Mr. Kapembwa who is also Director of Economics and Finance in the Ministry said government or law enforcers can not tackle gender based violence without the involvement of the people themselves.
He said the best weapon against gender based violence are the people themselves saying there should be zero tolerance to gender based violence whether done in private or public
are we fighting for equal rights or equal roles. women please do not cry perform and it will come. there is no short cut to success. if you work for it you get it. hillary cliton is such. inonge is such. no one can stop u. unless u want things done to favour you against men. that again will lead to gender bias

Women must work hard and do for themselves. Good though.
:)>-viva LT.Actually Women are the major contributors to the National development.Men will misuse their cash on useless things like Beer and Womanising,but women will sacrifice whatever little they have to send their children to school who in future help the Development of the nation.

No woman No food!! learn to appreciate us! ;;)
We appreciate you for one thing only, and that is companionship kwapwa ^:)^
:-?:-?
Rashid be sincere! There is more to that
Baby C, I believe in the bible so much and i think it say Man is Head and woman is helper, unless you want to dispute the bible. Goodmorning pera!
It is high time women stoped being victims but stand out as problem solvers. Giving them incentives on the basis of their sex is not empowering them, but simply cushioning them. What will happen once the tables are turned, i.e when male folks will be disadvantaged due to these so called women empowerment programmes?
Rashid ninshi muli ba church sana ;;)
CAN ANYONE PUT ME IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF THE MIND AS TO WHO IS NINE CHALE. FROM HIS BEHAVIOUR OF WHAT NUMBER HE IS ON THE BLOG I DISCERN A CHILD IN THIS BEING. THAT BEHAVIOUR OF BEING SO PARTICULAR OF WHAT NUMBER YOU LINE UP WHEN GETTING INTO CLASS OR PA PARADE FOR THOSE OF US WHO WENT TO SCHOOL IN THE 80s. FROM NINE CHALE’S BEHAVIOUR I WILL NOT BE SUPRISED THAT HE IS A KID PLAYING ON MUM’S OR DAD’S LAPTOP OR COMPUTER.
Number 19-baby c
what kind of uneducated cliche is that? no woman no food? Isnt it supposed to be no woman no:
1. -Need to worry about time u get home?
2.- need to wory about the colour of your boxers?
3.- need to worry about having a headache
4.-need to check your credit card if it has been used to buy gucci bags & the other useless laces & strings?
Baby C, church has been my life since childhood.I appreciate women so much but i think they are too impatient.
Rashid jones I owe you an apology my bro.When you said you are from jordan I thought you were not christian but muslim.I was really humbled yesterday when I saw one of your comment where you said that you are in love with Jesus.Keep it up bro,your labour in the Lord is not in Vain.1cor 15 vs 58.As for the issue at hand.I think women deserves some respect and appreciations.they do alot in our lives.They fully understand what it means by parental care,unlike ifibaume.men we have to change,yes we can!

What do you mean uneducated???? muleishiba ukulanda. The best you can do is simply say, i dont agree with you!!
Matworld-Nice guy, apology accepted but lok at what your people are saying now. they want to extend the NCC to plunder more of your hard earned money. Do something you people to prevent this or maybe this is what you call being a peaceful nation?
Baby C, Forget him cause i believe that everyone on this forum is educated in someway or another.
Baby C,
Metaphors and cliches are meant to express ones’ thoughts and extent of understanding pertaining to a subject at hand.”no woman no food” to me simply shows an abrupt thinking of an ill learned person,which am caused to believe u are not.You need to set parameters and define your statements adequately. thank you.
If you are supporting this move of extending the NCC sitting,then there must be something wrong with you. You cant take more than one year to make a constitution,where on this earth has that ever happened. stop sleeping and support a noble cause. ^:)^
Mr Rashid Jones,
indeed everyone is educated one way or the other. but it is the level of education that matters. a child can also claim to be educated if it can go the whole day without peeing in its pants.
GENTLEMEN AND LADIES THE NCC ISSUE IS ON ANOTHER BLOG NOT HERE. LET US TALK ABOUT OUR PARTNERS (WOMEN) WHO ARE VERY VALUABLE IN OUR LIVES. YOU SHOULD SEE HOW BANDA IS ALWAYS HAPPY WHEN WITH THE FIRST LADY THANDIWE. THAT IS WHAT WOMEN ADD AND DO TO MEN, WHETHER OLD OR YOUNG. WOMEN ARE JUST TOO PRECIOUS MWE BANTU.
Rashid Jones.Thank you for accepting my apology.I tell you these pipo who are calling for extension really apsets me.I somehow agree with you that we Zambians are somehow sleepy of course not everyone.I didnt understand why thes pipo took so long to finish the constitution review,but they have just opened my eyes.these pipo are just interested in making money for themselves.Zambian who has bewitched us kanshi?Dissapointed Zambian
Mwine kalale twaunfwa we wont do it again Iam happy that you also recognise women as vwry precious.Why cant men be as precious as women?
Dont you think men are also valuable? what kills women is inferiority complex. Have you ever head of Men of influence but there are women of influence,ministry of gender for women and nothing for men. this is what kills our women ^:)^
Point taken Mr Unza Moje. Is this your first time on LT??????? ;;)
No,lets just say, i have been watching you.
ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
Unza mojo,Mwachinji zina imwe. anyway you are welcome
GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife..
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man
Indeed women are a source of encouragement. they have this devine gift of multitasking. they can deal with so much but yet do everything to their level best. in contrast to men, who are sequential in their thinking, and usually want to be problem solvers without realising that they might be the problem themselves.BUT DO YOU KNOW WHERE MEN WOULD BE TODAY IF THERE WERE NO WOMEN(EVE)?…….IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.ENJOYING A FRUIT PUNCH AND GAME VIEWING.
Women are best to be problem causers,risk takers in useless things.These people if not careful will dominate over men.coz i dont expect a helper to have equal say to the head,men are head,we can not dispute this fact,thats why people are failing to mek homes today coz no one is wiling to be submisive,i respect & love women more especially wen they continue with their roles of helpers.
GOD created man and rested, then created woman and HE has never rested since then
Women play a big role in the family. Your father may reject you but your mother , very rare or never. You are always with mamma remember. Give credit where due. Remember your mamma. Your father too. God bless the women.
All a woman needs is a dumb man to dominate. Do you here that Baby C.
:d:-j
No problem, we can PORTRAY them as contributors. Meaning, they don’t do much , right? That’s the drift coming my way, LT.
LT is the best! i love to read the news on LT and the comments from zambians from all over the world! i love it…. it makes me feel at home because those are genune zambian comments! go zedians!
:-w:-\”make more meaningful and educated comments people,many of you would not be where you are today without your mother’s influence
Hey Women, have you ever wondered at how most of our major problems begin with Men?
Menopause
Mental Anxiety
Menstrual cramps
Mental disorder
Menstrual moods
Menstrual………forgotten but the list is endless 8->8->8->
Hey No (39) UNZAMOJO, the man Adam had the right to say no to Eve. I guess Eve had such an influence over Adam that is why the serpent did not approach Adam, itself. Hey women have such power. We even control presidents – Passop!!!
