Any proposed shift that weakens direct citizen participation, creates vote inequality, or reduces public accountability risks undermining constitutional democracy in Zimbabwe. #AmendmentBillNo3 #Zimbabwe #Democracy #ConstitutionalReform
Equal constituencies. Equal representation. Equal votes. Any constitutional amendment that creates vote inequality or weakens public accountability risks undermining democratic governance in Zimbabwe. Citizens must remain at the center of electoral processes.

The community point to a troubling pattern: rising cases of child marriages are being driven largely by economic hardship, with vulnerable families resorting to harmful coping mechanisms. Some elders are reportedly facilitating these marriages for financial gain.

Even more concerning CIASA heard that , perpetrators are often shielded by power, wealth, or political connections undermining justice and leaving survivors without protection. These dynamics continue to normalize abuse and weaken accountability within communities.

At CIASA our role is clear: • Strengthening community awareness and accountability • Supporting safe reporting pathways • Advocating for justice systems that protect not silence survivors • Challenging harmful norms that normalize GBV and child marriages
CIASA notes with concern that When cases lose momentum due to influence and intimidation, survivors are discouraged from reporting. This perpetuates a cycle of silence, impunity, and harm there by taking back efforts made towards ending GBV and child marriages in our community.
