Urgent Appeal for Solidarity by Zimbabwean Women to African Women and Women All Over the World

On March 29,2009 Zimbabwe went to the polls to elect its next government until 2013. From 2 April 2008 the government organised a retribution campaign to target those who allegedly voted for the opposition and since then there has been terror in mostly rural Zimbabwe with youth militia under the command of the army.

Many women including the old have been forced to strip naked and beaten on the breasts and buttocks. 7000 teachers, a third of them women have fled their homes and several schools mostly in rural areas are closed. Several girls and women are feared raped.

The youngest child seriously assaulted is only 3 years. Despite calls from all corners of the world for the violence to stop, it has become worse and we fear more and more people are getting killed and buried.

Those who can assist should email coalition@zol.co.zw or dakotareed07@gmail.com and we will refer you to all the women in Zimbabwe working in various areas
