Yet, as ZPP points out, month after month, these are rights which are enshrined in
the country’s supreme charter. Citizens continue to fail to access the protections
expressly granted to them by the Constitution. And so the struggle continues.
Data Gathering Methodology
Information contained herein is based on reports from ZPP long-term community
based human rights monitors, who observe and record cases of human rights
violations in the constituencies they reside. ZPP deploys a total of 420 communitybased primary peace monitors (two per each of the 210 electoral constituencies of
Zimbabwe). The monitors compile reports that are handed over to ZPP
coordinators who man the different ZPP regional offices in the ten administrative
provinces of Zimbabwe. Upon receipt and verifications of the reports from the
monitors, the Regional Coordinators compile provincial monthly monitoring
reports, which are then consolidated at the national office into the ZPP monthly
monitoring reports published in retrospect.
