  • Country Gender Profile: Zambia Final Report
    Country Gender Profile: Zambia Final Report March 2016 Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Japan Development Service Co., Ltd. (JDS) EI JR 16-098 Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) commissioned Japan Development Service Co., Ltd. to carry out research for the Country Gender Profile for Zambia from October 2015 to March 2016. This report was prepared based on a desk review and field research in Zambia during this period as a reference for JICA for its implementation of development assistance for Zambia. The views and analysis contained in the publication, therefore, do not necessarily reflect the views of JICA. SUMMARY I. General Situation of Women and Government’s Efforts towards Gender Equality General Situation of Women in the Republic of Zambia In the Republic of Zambia (hereinafter referred to as “Zambia”, there exists a deep-rooted concept of an unequal gender relationship in which men are considered to be superior to women. This biased view regarding gender equality originates from not only traditional cultural and social norms but also from the dual structure of statutory law and customary law. Rights, which are supposed to be protected under statutory law, are not necessarily observed and women endure unfair treatment in terms of child marriage, unequal distribution of property, etc. Meanwhile, there have been some positive developments at the policy level, including the establishment of an independent Ministry of Gender, introduction of specific gender policies and revision of certain provisions of the Constitution, which epitomise gender inequality (currently being deliberated). According to a report1 published in 2015, Zambia ranks as low as 11th of 15 countries surveyed among Southern African Development Community (SADC) members in the areas of women’s participation in politics.
