Heavy police presence at Malawi sexism protest

Date: Oct 9, 2020

The Malawi Women Movement has begun its protest against gender imbalance in public appointments amid heavy police presence.

The women say President Lazarus Chakwera has failed to meet the 60:40 male-to-female target in appointments. Chakwera has said he needs more time to achieve it.

Malawi's Nation Newspaper has tweeted photos of police deployed in the streets.
