Harare/New York, 7 July 2020 – Every year, millions of girls are subjected to practices that harm them physically and emotionally with the full knowledge and consent of their families, friends and communities, according...

To support the women and girls to maintain their dignity during the lockdown, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs with support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) distributed dignity kits to the National Training Centre, which is accommodating Josephine and other homeless women and girls. The government department also distributed dignity kits to OSCs supported around the country.

Every day, hundreds of thousands of girls around the world are harmed physically or psychologically, with the full knowledge and consent of their families, friends and communities. And without urgent action, the situation is likely to worsen.
