About 500 hundred WOZA members marched peacefully from Copacabana to Market Square bus terminus in the city centre distributing flyers on the referendum.
They chanted slogans encouraging other women to come out in their numbers and endorse the draft constitution.
Speaking on the sidelines of the event, WOZA Director, Jenni Williams, told The Zimbabwean that the new constitution would promote gender equality and recognise the need for affirmative action to correct past injustices against women.
“As WOZA, we are urging women to come out in their numbers and vote “Yes. We are happy the draft constitution protects children’s right to identity and cushions them from forced political participation. The right to free basic education so that our children can have a decent future is also enshrined in the draft,” she said.
Williams said out of 90 of their demands during the constitution-making process, 60 were incorporated into the draft.
WOZA has conducted 600 workshops in the last two weeks to publicise the contents of the draft constitution in Harare, Bulawayo and rural Matabeleland.
