- Summary
This paper advocates that election observation should take note of the issue of gender equality in electoral processes. Women’s full and equal participation and the integration of gender perspectives into all levels of the electoral processes enhance democratic practices in elections and for this reason, election observer missions should be prepared to render an election not free and fair on the basis of significant transgressions of the electoral rights of women.

- Summary
The month of April also witnessed increasing tensions between the government and its employees with the government failing to respond to the concerns of workers in the public sector. This led to another strike by nurses, which compromised the right to health care. The March 2018 strike by doctors was followed by a nurse’s strike on 16th of April. Vice President Chiwenga responded by firing all striking nurses violating section 65 (2) (3) of the Constitution, which recognises the right of all employees to engage in collective bargaining with the exception of the security service.
