Auxillia Mnangagwa's Visit To The UK Is An Insult To The Zimbabwean Women And A Mockery To The Human Rights.
The planned visit of the 1st Lady, Auxillia Mnangagwa, to the UK, for the FLAIR Summit in London on the (17th-18th June), has triggered anger and deep concern among Zimbabweans in diaspora and back home. We are demanding that the UK government should refuse her entry. Whilst she parades around with the banner of women's empowerment. (DOES SHE EVEN KNOW THE MEANING OF IT?)
Women in Zimbabwe are suffering and so are the young girls. The country's health system has crumbled to nothing. Hospitals and clinics have no electricity, no medication and no staff. This has become a national norm.
Across the country girls as young as 10 years old are being raped, abused and forced into early motherhood. In many cases perpetrators walk free due to the broken justice system. The government turns a blind eye. Auxillia as a woman and a mother has failed to protect all the vulnerable children in our country, instead they allow the culture of silence.
As a result, primary school dropout rates have gone high, especially among girls. Many are forced out of education due to pregnancy, poverty or early marriages. These girls lose their future while those in power continue to enrich themselves and travel abroad for luxury.
How can Auxillia be welcomed in the UK as a "top" speaker on women's issues? When in Zimbabwe she has never stood up for the abuse of children and letting their childhood be stolen under her watch.
We call on the UK government to listen to our plea as Zimbabweans, as her presence will give legitimacy to a regime that continues to violate basic human rights.
We will gather in London on the 17th of June and make our voices heard. We will march for the future and the rights of every child and women of our country who has been failed by this corrupt regime.
Auxilla doesn't promote any women's economic empowerment within the country. Women are giving birth on hard, ice cold concrete floors in hospitals. So which empowerment is she talking about. She doesn't protect women and girls from abuse and violence. There's no provision of support services for the victims of abuse and violence.
As the 1st lady she has never addressed the needs and priorities of women.
Auxillia Mnangagwa is not welcome in the UK.
Zimbabwe deserves better!!! Women and children have suffered enough.
