The police, the ministry of health, the local government ministry, the immigration department, and Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT) representatives participated in the survey. The UN in another study has attributed similar incidences to sexual abuse, lack of condom or contraceptives use, perceptions that one would not fall pregnant, and unplanned sexual debuts.
