Thokozani Khupe|Women constitute 52% of the Zimbabwean population yet hunger and poverty continue to wear the face of a woman 36 years after independence.
The current political and economic situation has left women vulnerable and weakened to undertake their duties as care givers to children and as the back-bone of the family institution.  It is in this light that women across the length and breadth of Zimbabwe have decided to say enough is enough, and are now organizing themselves to fight the root cause of their hunger and poverty.
#beatthepot is a campaign which is asking all women to bring their empty pots to a peaceful protest whereby women will be beating their empty pots to symbolize the hunger and poverty which they are currently experiencing under the government of President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF.
This campaign will kick off in Bulawayo on Saturday the 16th of July 2016 at the large City Hall at 9:00am. All Women of Zimbabwe are invited to rise up with pots and wooden spoons as we harness our power as women in organizing and mobilizing ourselves against the damaging effects of hunger and poverty to our families.
Wathinta abafazi, wathinta imbokodo! A hungry woman is an angry woman.
