It`s time for Action against Gender Based Violence
94 % reported having encountered sexual harassment...
In Zimbabwe, gender based violence is still a challenge. Zimbabwean NGO, Female Students Network (FSN) recently carried out a national baseline survey revealing that sexual harassment is rampant and that the major perpetrators are male lecturers.
Out of the 2 114 female students who participated through the questionnaire, 94 % reported having encountered sexual harassment in the form of either unwanted or invited physical contact (touching, patting and hugging), inappropriate remarks about their gender or sexuality (including sarcastic criticism of their weight or body parts), wolf whistling, or "favours" such as good grades/marks, extra academic help and study aids, by either male students, non-academic staff and/or lecturers.
The survey also revealed that only 4 out of the 21 targeted institutions had sexual harassment policies.
Gender-based violence is one of the most prevalent human rights violations in the world – one out of three women will experience physical or sexual abuse during her lifetime. November 25 th marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and the start of a global campaign called 16 Days of Activism.
FSN encourage everyone to take action.
This year, SAIH and Female Students Network, is part of a common exchange project. Together with Patience Malunga from FSN, SAIH Bislet invite you to a screening of the movie "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" at Eldorado in Oslo, December 7th.
