MEN’S NETWORK DISMAYED BY ZAMBIA MUST PROSPER PRESIDENT ‘S REMARK THAT ‘WOMEN SHOULD INCREASE THE POPULATION”.
4th SEPTEMBER, 2024.
The Men’ s Network for Gender and Development feels remarks attributed to Zambia Must Prosper president, Kelvin Bwalya Fube, urging women to increase the population are very disappointing.
The remarks by Mr Bwalya as a political leader are not only disappointing but also retrogressive and a subtraction to the advancement of gender equality. It is very unfortunate that women should be looked down upon as tools for child bearing.
While we appreciate his pronouncement to have more women in political decision-making positions , we do not agree with his assertion that women should be stereotyped for reproduction because the world has advanced to look at women as partners in governance and development.
Well as an organization that works with men and boys for the advancement of gender equality, we therefore back calls by NGOCC that Mr Fube should retract his words and apologize to the women of Zambia.
We also would like to state that Mens Network is keeping a close eye on male political leaders who have a tendency of using stereotype, abusive or demeaning language against women that their names will be entered into our data base for future reference to prevent such leaders from entering public service.

NATIONAL COORDINATOR
Really, women.should increase the population, ALONE Would like to see that.
For once, KBF is right. Zambia’s population is too low. If we donot procreate at a faster rate, foreigners will come and fill the void. It is happening in Europe.
This NGO has nothing better to talk about. How else are you going to increase the population if women donot get in the family way?
I actually didn’t know that KBF was that stupid and backward. Women are good for the economy when they’re in the labour force. They spend money properly.
So ba Gunner, women cannot be in the labour force if they are pregnant?
Imwe ka Gay network of Lesbians: so men now should be the ones to increase the population? What are these mwankoles talking about . Stupid organisations need to be closed and boycotted cos they infact don’t represent us as black but white capital who are their funders in order to destabilise the black population. What equality is there between your penis iwe ka Banda & your wife’s vagina?
