@SAYWHATOrg Zimbabwe should not ban social media outright; it should build protected access that keeps children online while reducing harm. The approved National Child Online Protection Policy already points in that direction. The question is will it be implemented?

[Melisa Nemangwe @melisa26585]

@alexasumburero @SAYWHATOrg It will never be feasible in this century. Preemptive VPNs will give plchildren easy access

[Melisa Nemangwe @melisa26585]

@alexasumburero @SAYWHATOrg Exposure to adult veduwe content like what Gava highlighted giving the Queen Nadia example. Cyber bullying in all its forms. In Birir rural areas a child committed suicide by just immitating what they saw on social media. Exploitation included. Grooming is not to be left out

[Melisa Nemangwe @melisa26585]

@SAYWHATOrg We should not block access but build protection around these platforms

[Melisa Nemangwe @melisa26585]

@SAYWHATOrg We cannot unilaterally switch off social media for children, but we can try create laws that make access harder, safer, and more accountable for platforms operating in Zimbabwe which is not a piece of cake.

[Melisa Nemangwe @melisa26585]

@SAYWHATOrg Banning may push children into hidden or unsupervised use rather than eliminating risk, which can make them harder to protect in practice.

[Melisa Nemangwe @melisa26585]

@SAYWHATOrg We can never solve digital risks with rules that children can just click past

[Melisa Nemangwe @melisa26585]

@SAYWHATOrg Lemme just type one or two things since l am facing network glitches

Tokenism is not transformation. Zimbabwe needs new tables, built on dignity, agency, and justice.

If you’ve ever been invited to the table but silenced at it this is your reminder: you belong at the center, not the margins.

“Inclusion without power is decoration.”
If your agenda is not for us—with us… We won’t accessorize it. We’ll redefine it. Women and youth deserve more than seats they deserve voice, influence, and respect.

@amnesty_zim And a minor cannot consent to engage in any sexual activity

[Amnesty International Zimbabwe @amnesty_zim]

Reminder📌

Sex without consent is RAPE.

Silence is not a yes.
No resistance is not a yes.
Absence of "no" is not a yes.
A pretty dress is not a yes.
Sexy underwear is not a yes.
Turning away from you is not a yes.
"I am not sure" is not a yes.
