Report of the 2015 International Women’s Day Stakeholder Commemorations  There is need to decentralise commemoration of the International Women’s Day to the local levels so that the day may have relevance to the ordinary women in the society.  Stakeholders should advocate for the reintroduction of affirmative action in tertiary institutions to ensure that more women get access to higher levels of education.  ZHRC must consider introducing initiatives that enhance awareness of its mandate at grassroots level.  ZHRC should expedite the production of IEC materials on areas such as the Declaration of Rights so that the public have a better appreciation of their rights. Seminar participants kept on requesting for more copies, indicating that the abridged and translated versions were very much in demand amongst the general public. The papers presented can be beefed up to produce information sheets on gender for distribution by the Commission.  Action points raised during the Seminar should be taken up by the Thematic Working Group on Gender and Women’s Rights as well as other stakeholders in order to improve the situation of Women in Society. l) Closing remarks Closing remarks were delivered by Commissioner C. Khombe who thanked all participants for making time to attend and participate at the Seminar. He also acknowledged the donor partners Danish Institute of Human Rights (DIHR) and European Union for making the event a success. m) Challenges The seminar coincided with the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meeting in New York from 9 to 20 March 2015.
