Resist, Reject and Report Violence, #RRRV2023
ZPP joins the rest of the world in commemorating 16 Days of activism
against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) under the themes "#Unite,
#Stoptherape. ZPP campaigns against political violence targeting women
and girls. According to Women's Affairs Minister Sithembiso Nyoni, between
January and September 2022, at least 220 minors were raped. A recent
case was that of a girl impregnated at 9. The minister stated that a total of
435 rape cases were reported; of these, 58% involved minors. ZPP strongly
condemns child rape and abuse and sexual exploitation disguised as
marriage and continues to advocate for the government and other
stakeholders, including the church, legislators and CSOs, to take bold steps
to end child rape.
