The Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) says it is on the move to address issues of inequalities affecting women, children and people with disabilities in various places including in the work places and academic institutions in the country.
Speaking on sidelines of the panel discussion program which was organized by MHRC at Crossroads Hotel on Wednesday in Lilongwe, MHRC Commissioner, Boniface Massah said that inequality remains a problem in the country.“For instance in some companies you would see that both men and women are doing the same job but you will notice that women are being paid less than men or you would see that women are given more task than men just because they are women and this is pathetic,” Massah said.
He added that, MHRC is currently monitoring the inequalities in different institutions and communities and is working together with various stakeholders to address the challenge of inequality in the country.
In her comment, Malawi Human Rights Resource Centre Director, Emma Kaliya said that there is also a need of corroborative efforts, if the issue of inequality has to be addressed in the country.
