GOVERNMENT will on Friday launch the National Strategy for Preventing and Addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV), a framework which will be used to address all forms of GBV.
Speaking during the World Bank Luncheon on Gender Based Violence on Wednesday, Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said the strategy which will be launched on Friday is a collaborative effort from Government and partners.
“May I highlight that between December 2022 and April 2023 year, my Ministry, with support from The World Bank, conducted a GBV assessment.
“The findings of this assessment contributed immensely towards the development of the National GBV Strategy (2023-2030) which we shall be launching this Friday December 15.
“This is an example of how much collaboration is pivotal in understanding the scope of GBV in Zimbabwe and identifying the gaps that need our urgent attention,” she said.
