Additional quotes by Elisabeth Valerio
People tell me I’m in this for reasons like joining POLAD or wanting cars, but I already have cars and houses. My motivation comes from dissatisfaction with the state of our country. I know people sacrificed their lives for a better Zimbabwe, yet true equality is still missing; only a few benefit while ordinary citizens continue to struggle.
In our society, there's still a mindset or cultural view that doesn’t see women as leaders or believe a woman could lead Zimbabwe. However, the response I’ve been receiving during my tours across Zimbabwe has been different. Meeting people face to face, I’m hearing more voices saying it’s time for a woman to lead. So, I’d say the response is mixed but evolving.
