Happy 25th anniversary to Gender Links! As Misheck Mlambo from Hope for Kids Zimbabwe and the CSO Manicaland Consortium, I celebrate GL's incredible 25-year journey advancing gender equality, women's rights, and community empowerment across Southern Africa. Your impactful work - from supporting survivors to fostering regional hubs in Zimbabwe - resonates deeply with our shared mission of youth empowerment, GBV prevention, child trafficking interventions, and SRHR in Manicaland. Grateful for the inspiration and partnerships that amplify voices for justice and equity; here's to many more transformative years ahead.
Your transformative work over 25 years is not only a celebration of your achievements, but also of the lives improved, the systems strengthened, and the courageous advocacy that continues to shape a more just and inclusive future. Your work in promoting gender equality and safeguarding SRHR remains as vital today as ever.
