Political parties in their members’ data bases do not disaggregate data by disability. This perpetuates the invisibility of persons with disabilities in political and electoral processes.
Whilst figures projecting SGBV crimes against women and girls are usually available and easy to access, information on the same statistics for women and girls with disabilities is not so easily accessible.

Are people who appear on these shows forced or duped or they do it by choice? If it is the former then there is violation of privacy but if they are consenting parties then freedom of expression comes in. Otherwise, the science & technology used in DNA testing is uncontroverted.
May you also ensure that the buses you are purchasing for @zupcobus are accessible to wheelchair users. We appreciate that you have taken note of the inaccessibility of the trains and the need to implement the National Disability Policy to its letter and spirit.
A legitimate concern that is being raised about our very functional and effective trains is the lack of Disabled Access. Govt has noted this concern and will address it. On the 9th of June 2021, President @edmnangagwa launched the National Disability Policy. We intend to live it.
@PoliceZimbabwe Are you aware of this dangerous development? What steps have you taken to stop this dangerous development? It appears that the illicit alcohol is being sold openly. @nickmangwana@MoHCCZim@Jamwanda2 Help our youths please.
