ZIMBABWEAN women living in the country’s mining areas are a constant target of sexual abuse, domestic violence on top of having their rights to water and other basics taken away from them.

This is according to a 2016-2019 Centre for Natural Resource Governance (CNRG) research in selected geographical mining areas in the country.

The research shows that women affected by mining activities do not have access to basic social services such as clean water and affordable health care.
