Written by Staff Reporter on January 30, 2025
The European Union Ambassador to Zimbabwe, His Excellency Jobst von Kirchmann, recently highlighted the importance of addressing gender-based violence (GBV) as a shared responsibility.
Speaking at the #HeForShe campaign, Ambassador von Kirchmann acknowledged the ongoing efforts of local leaders, including Minister Monica Mutsvangwa, #TeamEurope, @UNZimbabwe, and others, in working towards the elimination of GBV.
While revealing that 42.5% of women in Zimbabwe have been affected by GBV, the Ambassador emphasized that tackling this issue requires the involvement of every sector of society, not just women.
