Women and girls in Zimbabwe face a myriad of challenges that include gender-based violence, domestic abuse, sexual and reproductive health and menstrual hygiene issues. Peace Direct is collaborating with our partner, Envision Zimbabwe Women’s Trust, to raise crucial funds and awareness for 60 Women Peace Champions, who are working to prevent violence against women in the rural community of Hurungwe, Zimbabwe.
We recognise that peace is not built through training and education alone. For peace to last, we need practical resources. This partnership between Peace Direct and Envision Zimbabwe is to raise funds for the practical necessities which will enable Women Peace Champions to be there for their community. Peace Champions need access to safe, reliable transport, safety equipment and physical pamphlets – for a community with limited access to electricity, local authorities or online support.
This is a shared appeal between Peace Direct and Envision Zimbabwe Women’s Trust, with all proceeds being equally shared to support the Women Peace Champions in Zimbabwe, as well as Peace Direct’s efforts to support local peacebuilding around the world.
