Gender-Based Violence is never justified. It is a violation of human rights that robs women and girls of their dignity, safety, and freedom. We must challenge harmful norms, amplify survivors' voices, and build communities free from violence.

Women’s rights are human rights too. They are neither optional nor negotiable. The conversation should not be about why women deserve rights. The conversation should be about why they are still denied them.

Transparency International Zimbabwe today convened a stakeholder meeting in Bulawayo to feed into the process of strengthening its advocacy inputs on the Whistle-blowers and Witness Protection legislative framework.
The engagement brought together key institutions, including @Zimra_11 , @NPAZim , @PoliceZimbabwe , alongside residents’ associations, civil society organisations, and journalists.
Key issues raised:
The legislative framework must amend sections of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act to properly protect both whistleblowers and witnesses
Protection must start immediately upon disclosure, not after harm
Clear, enforceable inter-agency coordination is needed to avoid delays and exposure risks
Witness protection must go beyond physical safety include relocation, identity protection, financial support, and psychosocial care
There must be clarity on handling illegally obtained information, balancing admissibility with public interest and protection of the source
Investigations must be prosecutor-led to strengthen accountability and case follow-through
Courts must allow protective measures use of pseudonyms, voice and image distortion to shield witness identity
The law must clearly define whether witnesses need to appear physically and under what protected conditions.
The issue of incentives was raised, whether whistleblowers should be rewarded or compensated, and under what safeguards to prevent abuse

I attended a transformative feminist leadership training that looked at systemic inequalities and dismantling gender representation barriers and the opportunities and gaps that we can capitalize on.
I remain committed to challenging the patriarchy and creating a just society.
