For International Women’s Day we are celebrating the extraordinary bravery and determination of Zimbabwean women defending their rights.
Many human rights defenders and political activists in Zimbabwe have been repeatedly arrested, unlawfully detained, harassed, tortured or even killed for simply exercising their rights to peaceful protest, freedom of assembly and association.
In this context, many courageous women have decided to stand up and defend their inalienable human rights and the rights of their communities and families. These brave women have denounced these injustices, demanded respect for their rights and in the process have often brought about positive social change and progress on human rights for all.
To support Amnesty International and human rights defenders in Zimbabwe you can:
1. Take part in the sponsored walk
2. Come along to the Central Bank at 1.00pm on 8 March and mark International Women’s Day
