Vice President, Inonge Wina says women must continue to put pressure on governments in Africa to promote inclusiveness, if the drive to reduce disaster risk effects is to be achieved.

ZNBC’s Franklin Tembo reports that Ms. Wina was speaking at a Women Leaders Forum, at the on-going 2017 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction conference in Cancun, Mexico.

And speaking at the same event, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed said gender imbalance will work against the gains that are being sought in the campaign for reducing disasters.

The UN Deputy Chief has further called on global leadership to be sensitive to gender balancing, if concrete results of reducing disaster risks were to be achieved.

Meanwhile, the conference has learnt that Zambia is exposed to a variety of hazards, such as droughts, floods, pest infestation, human and animal epidemics, hailstorms and landslides, which make the country vulnerable.

Ms Wina said the country also experiences man-made hazards, such fires and industrial accidents.

  1. Zambia supports women under leadership of EL, you madam Wina our iron lady is an example.

    You are in order to call other countries to learn from us.

    Not this boy from south africa making noise when his country is worse that us – history is there to show this.

  2. Munone tell us how women are going to reduce disaster effects by recognition of GOVERNMENTS (note plural)
    so she includes her government as well.
    An iron lady ,yes ironing ECL shirts. A synchophant who acted for self advancement in kabwe.
    The problems in zambia started with her actions at pf convention in zambia. She knew her reward.
    Let her role be judged in zambian political history
