5.0. POLICY STRATEGIES The policy objectives will be pursued through a range of strategies. These strategies have been formulated around each of the eight priority areas. 5.1. Gender, Constitutional and Legal Rights The new Constitution contains the core components of a gender sensitive framework. It is comprehensive in its intentions for gender equality and hence provides a firm platform upon which equality rights can be claimed and initiatives can be pursued for generations to come. This NGP therefore establishes mechanisms to actualise the gender equality provisions of the new Constitution and other legislative provisions on gender equality. Policy Objective: To ensure that the constitutional and legislative provisions on gender justice are implemented and targets set in the national and international and regional protocols, to which Zimbabwe subscribe to, are achieved. Policy Strategies i. Simplify, translate in all languages, disseminate and popularise the gender justice components of the new Constitution and other relevant policies and legal provisions. ii. Conduct a gender audit of all existing relevant laws, identify gaps in line with the new constitutional provisions, and recommend areas for review or enactment of new instruments. iii. Advocate for the enactment of new laws, and/or support any efforts towards enactment of laws needed to deliver the gender equality provisions as provided in the new constitution. iv. Advocate for the establishment of institutions and/or support any efforts towards the establishment of institutions and other mechanisms needed to deliver the gender equality provisions as provided in the new constitution. v. Operationalise the Gender Commission. vi. Develop and implement a Gender Equality Result Oriented Tracking System across all sectors. vii. Identify areas that require affirmative action to achieve gender equality, facilitate and support efforts to develop a national Affirmative Action Plan for gender equality and equity viii. Identify harmful laws, cultures and traditional practices that infringe on women’s and girls’ rights and that impede the gender equality objectives and lobby for their elimination. 13
