The Full Story
Despite Zimbabwe's constitutional guarantees of gender equality, women's representation at local government levels had dropped 3%, revealing systemic barriers to political participation. Nafuna Africa created a strategic explainer video for Hivos Zimbabwe's Women Empowered for Leadership (WE4L) programme that visualized discriminatory narratives, patriarchal cultural practices, and isolation of women leaders through compelling data graphics and metaphorical imagery. Designed for multiple audiences—from donors to government officials to women leaders themselves—the video translated complex gender theory into actionable advocacy. The strategic communication value was recognized by the European Union, contributing to securing €1.1 million in funding for subsequent women's leadership programming.
