CS56 is a Women’s Rights Activists campaign being coordinated by WCoZ to amplify the diverse voices of women’s rights activists in Zimbabwe, who after 3 years of a new progressive constitutional dispensation find that women’s day today lived realities have not changed and their demands for legal and administrative reforms continue to meet a myriad of excuses from various duty bearers.

The launch is a Women’s March titled #Section56March. The aim of the march is to amplify women’s voices in demanding for the full implementation of equality as covered in the Zimbabwean Constitution #Section56 on Equality and Non-Discrimination. The campaign will be speaking to issues of;
1. The failure to change of state practice toward women
2. The de-prioritisation of women
3. The deepening of marginalisation of women

They confiscated this money and said they would only release it to a government by the people, to the people, for the people. We are suggesting that 3 million Zimbabweans are a government.

We want the United States Government to release those funds for building homes for Zimbabwean citizens.

There is gross violation of human rights, beating up, torture and even murder of opposition supporters and ordinary citizens.

Elections are neither free nor fair and the economy is in ruins, with shortages of almost all basic commodities. The independent media has been silenced or shut down through use of draconian laws like AIPPA, BSA and POSA, and banishment or violence against independent and foreign journalists, preventing the rest of the world from knowing what exactly is going on in Zimbabwe.

The state broadcaster, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation which enjoys monopoly in the field, is guilty of dereliction of its duty to inform and give an unbiased account of events in Zimbabwe to the rest of the world, and has chosen to become the mouthpiece of the government, spouting propaganda on behalf of this repressive regime while at the same time ignoring the atrocities committed by the same government against its own people, nor giving opposition parties fair or any media coverage. The story of Zimbabwe is a very sad one indeed.

NB: Jumptv had actually considered not putting ZBC online for human rights violations(refer to article quoted above), but we do not know why they had change of heart as nothing has changed.
