Support Domestic Violence Victims in Zimbabwe

Introduction 

In Zimbabwe, 42.7% of women between the ages of 15-49 have experienced domestic violence in their lives. Due to gender inequality, women often don't have access to the same level of education as men, leading to them becoming financially dependent on their husbands. Many men also feel as though they 'own their wives' because of the Lobola (Bride Price) paid before marriage.

Report 

By providing assistance and therapy to women in difficult situations we hope to empower them to become independent and seek viable and safe forms of employment. This will increase their contribution to the economy and reduce inequality. COVID has aggravated the issue of domestic violence, but the recent instalment of our domestic violence phone line has been a huge success in providing women with a way to get help and we hope with more donations to increase our impact. It costs $25 to provide one woman with a counseling session. We have managed to raise $345 so far.

Thank you for your support

Working with a local partner our aim is to tackle SDG 5- Gender Equality, by providing a life-line for women in abusive relationships to reach out to for help as well as provide therapy and tools so that they can become independent and earn an income. A donation of $25 will provide one women access to a rehabilitation workshop.
