FROM PARTICIPANTS TO CHANGE MAKERS

Young girls and women in Chipata refused to be spectators in democracy. Through a Capacity Building Training on Civic Engagement and Peaceful Elections conducted by Fight Inequality Alliance Zambia and Girls Gone Political with support from Global Platform Zambia through the Strategic Partnership Agreement II Project.

Aspiring leaders, activists, and political actors came together to strengthen their leadership and commitment to peaceful democratic participation.

Among the participants were five women candidates preparing to contest the August 2026 elections, two aspiring Members of Parliament and three aspiring Councillors.

Their presence is a powerful reminder that women are not waiting for a seat at the table. They are stepping forward to lead.

For too long, women have faced barriers designed to keep them out of politics. Yet they continue to organize, mobilize, and challenge systems that exclude them.

Our call is simple: support women leaders, reject political violence, and create political spaces where every woman and girl can participate freely and safely.

When women lead, communities thrive. When women participate, democracy grows stronger. The time for women’s leadership is now.

Feminist Warriors Zambia, in collaboration with Solidarity Movement and supported by the Global Platform Zambia under the Strategic Partnership Agreement Program II, hosted a Youth Refugee Safeguarding Insaka/Dialogue.

The dialogue was meaningful and eye opening, featuring engaging panel discussions, presentations, shared learning experiences, and honest reflections on the realities faced by refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and displaced young people.

Young people gathered to discuss the importance of listening, solidarity, and collective action in creating safer, more inclusive, and supportive communities for refugees, IDPs, and asylum seekers.

Youth4Parliament and Activista Zambia with support from the Global Platform Zambia under the SPA programme, successfully hosted a two-day councilor engagement training in Lusaka at the Global Platform Zambia. The program brought together youth candidates from across the country who will be participating in the upcoming fourth general elections on 13 August 2026.

We remain firmly committed to advancing the youth agenda and ensuring that more young people are not only voted for but also elected into office. This marks a vital step toward amplifying youth voices in decision-making spaces.

# HubActivity
Join Girl Zone Empowerment Foundation, in collaboration with Women in Global Health, tomorrow for a community engagement in Bauleni focused on empowering girls in sports and promoting mental well-being.

Too many girls face discrimination, pressure, abuse, and a lack of support simply for participating in sports. Global Platform Zambia is honoured to be supporting this initiative, helping create safe spaces, providing psychosocial support, building confidence, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

Every girl deserves the opportunity to play, grow, lead, and dream without fear.

When we support girls in sports, we empower a stronger generation for Zambia. 🇿🇲
