We Are Committed To Fighting Gender Based Violence - ZRP

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) says it is committed to fighting all forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV).

Speaking on the sidelines of commemorations of 16 Days against GBV, Acting Midlands Provincial Police Spokesperson, Assistant Inspector, Fungai Ngawagare said:

We cannot turn a blind eye to such an initiative (16 days) which is part of efforts in curbing crime.

In this regard, the Zimbabwe Republic Police is obliged to uphold the interests of children, women and men in the fight against all forms of Sexual Gender Based Violence.

Gender-Based Violence is violence involving men and women in which the female is usually the victim and is derived from unequal power relationships between men and women.

Violence is directed specifically against a woman because she is a woman, or affects women disproportionately.

It includes but is not limited to physical, sexual, and psychological harm. It includes that violence which is perpetuated or condoned by the state.

She said ZRP was working with organisations that protect the rights of vulnerable people in society which include Msasa, One Stop Centre, Childline, Family Support Trust and Social Welfare.

Every year from 25 November to 10 December, the ZRP women’s network joins the Southern Africa Region Police Chiefs Co-operation Organization (SARPCCO) in commemorating 16 days of activism against GBV.

The SARPCCO member countries include South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Angola, Malawi, Tanzania and DRC. | TellZim News
