MASVINGO CITY-Angela Maduro, a dedicated alumna of the Great Zimbabwe (GZ) Herbert Chitepo Law School, recently hosted a deeply meaningful panel discussion focused on the effects of toxic masculine norms on boys.
This heartfelt event, held at the Hebert Chitepo Law School, brought together a diverse group of legal professionals, cultural entrepreneurs, and social activists, all united in their desire to foster understanding and develop creative solutions for gender-related challenges.
The panel aimed to empower students by sharing essential knowledge about legal rights, protections, and reforms that can help dismantle harmful gender norms. Maduro, who is also a co-project partner with the Men Engage Project, highlighted the vital connection between law, culture, and gender issues, emphasizing how these areas intertwine to shape our society.
The event was made possible through a collaborative effort involving the law school, Doctor Owen Mafongoya from the Julius Nyerere School of Social Sciences, and Solomon Imbayago from the School of Heritage and Education. This partnership reflects Maduro’s unwavering commitment to addressing social issues through interdisciplinary approaches.
As a passionate advocate for gender equality, Maduro expressed her genuine excitement about organizing more events like this in the future.
“I hope to continue creating spaces where we can come together to discuss and innovate around gender-related matters,” she said.
While this panel marked her initial venture into hosting community action projects focused on gender and the law, Maduro has already built a commendable reputation for spearheading impactful initiatives. Her commitment to promoting gender equality and supporting men and boys through cultural entrepreneurship is inspiring a new generation of empathetic leaders.
Through her efforts, Maduro is not only encouraging a deeper understanding of gender issues but also promoting collaborative solutions that seek to uplift everyone in the community.
Maduro, a law graduate from Great Zimbabwe University, is also the founder of the Trinity Charity Foundation, an organization advocating for gender equality with a focus on male involvement.
Her organization has collaborated with various stakeholders on several community action projects focused on gender equality.
