Report of the 2015 International Women’s Day Stakeholder Commemorations perceptions, among men and among women. He concluded his presentation by looking at strategies for engaging men and boys to address GBV as follows:  Establishment of local level men’s chapters (a chapter consist of at least 30 men who gather monthly to dialogue on topical gender related issues affecting their community).  Adoption of a culturally sensitive community entry strategy through engaging relevant community authorities’ i.e. Provincial and District Administrators, chiefs and other key stakeholders.  Working with local community leadership i.e. chiefs, religious leaders, councillors etc. k) Action Points and Way forward  There is need for long term mentorship for women in decision making to ensure that they can clearly articulate issues and are more effective in the execution of their duties. Stakeholders should deliberately target Young Women and mentor them so that they can be groomed to become future leaders.  There is need to clearly define Minimum Standards of Participation of Women in different spheres such as Politics, Economy etc.  Continuous investment in sensitisation programs should be made since societal attitudes take time to change. Radio programs were warmly received by the general public. ZHRC should consider the continued use of the radio platforms in its sensitisation efforts to reach out to the people especially radio stations that use the vernacular languages.  Appropriate socialisation of children is essential since it will determine their behaviour and demeanour in their adulthood.  ZHRC should strive to have increased participation of various stakeholders in its activities. Such events should be held in an open environment (such as Harare Gardens) and the invitations be extended to the general populace so that the ordinary women in society can take time to reflect on what the day stands for in their lives and their struggle for emancipation.
