Local police have said they don't handle political cases and have ignored these women's pleas for protection and justice. There has also not been any attempt to address these crimes at the national level.

Help ensure that the Zimbabwean government ends politically motivated violence against women, put a stop to impunity for these crimes, and bring the perpetrators to justice as stipulated in both SADC Protocol on Gender and Development and the Zimbabwe Global Political Agreement (GPA).
