2017 ZAMBIA SOCIAL FORUM SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED!

By Stewart Luunga,

Non-government organisations (NGOs), Civil society organisations, community members, the media, the government and other stakeholders gathered in Chongwe district to support the successful hosting of the 2017 Zambia Social Forum organised by Zambia Social Forum (ZAMSOF) in conjuction with Civil Society for Poverty Reduction (CSPR).

 The forum which was held for two days; 24th and  25th November attracted a size-able crowd that was essential for the discussion at hand and reflection on the theme: "Another Zambia is Possible".

Meanwhile, ZAMSOF coordinator and Social worker, Gershom Kabaso says they are working directly with councillors, churches and civic leaders to improve participation next time.

"This forum is important and beneficial to children as it empowers them and amplifies the voices of those who are inaudible so that they may get support in every area of life", says Mr. Kabaso.

The forum did not leave anyone behind as it included the differently abled people, the children in the media and musicians. Messages on early marriages, child labour and abuse, gender based violence, the aged and the disabled were conveyed using different modes of communication and that bought the interest of the native community members.

There is need to recognise and promote such kinds of initiatives to ensure that we enhance the country at every level of society.

Happy 16 Days of Gender Activism!
