The state security sector is still actively being used by Robert Mugabe and ZANU PF to torture and oppress women in order to keep them out of the political process, a new report has revealed. The report also brings out the direct role of the ZANU PF militia in the violence.
The 'Women and Political Violence: An Update' report was compiled by the Women's Programme of the Research and Advocacy Unit (RAU) and released on Monday. It is a study on the degree of violence against women and its impact, after Robert Mugabe last year began demanding an election in 2011.
