Violence against women and girls is a violation of human rights that continues to threaten lives, limit opportunities, and hinder progress toward gender equality. FAWE Zimbabwe (FAWEZI) is calling for collective action to break the silence, amplify voices, and create safe spaces where survivors can share their stories without fear.

As we approach the International Day of Girls and Women in Science, it is crucial to recognize the importance of empowering women and girls in all sectors. Education and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are vital to breaking barriers and fostering a future where they can thrive without discrimination or violence.

FAWEZI remains committed to advocating for policies and initiatives that protect women and girls from all forms of violence. Through education, mentorship, and community engagement, we strive to create an environment where every girl can reach her full potential in safety and dignity.

We urge individuals, communities, and policymakers to take a stand. Let’s listen, let’s act, and let’s make a difference together.
