The Zambia National Women's Lobby (ZNWL) has proposed that issues of gender equity should be enshrined in the electoral laws. The Women's movement submitted in Lusaka that all structures managing elections must be committed to the concept of gender equity and employ women at all levels of development. ZNWL chairperson Mary Nandazi said acts of violence during elections had negatively affected women's participation in elections and called for intensified police operations to ensure the security of the electorate.
