Zim women at the forefront of challenging government policy

In the report, the organisation released the findings of a three-week research mission during which Amnesty International's delegates interviewed scores of women of all ages throughout Zimbabwe, from both townships and rural areas.

 
"The Zimbabwean government needs to address the underlying economic and social problems that are motivating women to protest - rather than attacking them and criminalising their legitimate activities in defence of human rights," said Irene Khan, Secretary General of Amnesty International.
