Women's economic empowerment should never come at the cost of peace in the home. Instead, it should open doors to stronger families, healthier relationships, and more resilient communities.
As we continue engaging communities, we invite everyone—women, men, young people, traditional leaders, and institutions—to join the conversation. Together, we can reshape harmful norms, strengthen financial resilience, and create households where everyone has the opportunity to flourish.

Today, the Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe launched the State of Women in Zimbabwe Report 2026. The data highlights worrying inequalities in women’s economic empowerment, access to land and natural resources, water, environmental justice, leadership and digital transformation.

The evidence is important for strengthening data-driven programming, advocacy and policy engagement. It helps us understand the realities women and girls face and identify where action is most needed.

Representing the Environmental Cluster, SWET appreciated the opportunity to bring attention to the struggles of women and girls affected by climate change and environmental challenges—issues that are directly connected to our work and passion for environmental stewardship and climate resilience.

We highlighted women’s ownership and control of land and mineral resources, leadership in key economic spaces, access to water, and intergenerational collaboration.

For us, the report is not only about data. It must inform action, strengthen advocacy and shape programmes that respond to women’s lived realities.

Transformation does not begin in boardrooms or government offices. It begins at the dinner table, in everyday conversations and family choices.

The households we want are built on respect, partnership, and shared dreams. Homes where financial decisions are made together, opportunities strengthen families, and everyone thrives in safety and dignity.

GBV isn't just about fists; it's also about controlling her wallet. Economic abuse is the use of financial control by a partner to strip away a woman's autonomy. Studies show that even when women participate in income-generating activities, financial decision-making power often remains firmly in male hands. Worse, husbands or relatives may forcibly take over her earnings and assets.

The Households We Want: Strengthening Peace and Positive Economic Development in Our Homes and Communities

What kind of household are we building?

One where money creates conflict—or one where it creates opportunity? One where financial decisions divide families—or where they are made together with trust, respect, and shared purpose?

These were some of the powerful questions that shaped our recent community conversation in Chitungwiza. Together with Old Mutual Zimbabwe, we explored financial literacy as more than budgeting and saving. We discussed how economic empowerment should strengthen relationships, not become a trigger for violence, control, or conflict.

When women have access to economic opportunities, households thrive. But lasting change also requires open conversations, shared decision-making, and communities that value equality, respect, and peace.

The conversation doesn't end here.

We need more spaces where families can learn, listen, challenge harmful norms, and build healthier financial relationships together. Because the state of a household's finances should never determine the safety, dignity, or well-being of its members.

💬 Let's keep the conversation going: What do you believe is the foundation of a peaceful and financially resilient household?
