According to the report, there is no political will to fight human trafficking and victims who dare report abuse are intimidated by law enforcement agents. Reads the report: > The government arrested a Zimbabwean labour recruiter for recruiting Zimbabwean women to work in Oman, where they were allegedly exploited in domestic servitude; the case remained pending at the end of the reporting period. > The government reported collaborating with the governments of South Africa, Botswana and Oman on investigations involving the trafficking of Zimbabwean victims. > … Trafficking victims reported law enforcement threatened and intimidated them when they tried to report their cases.
