Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 73531, member: 636"] Zimbabwe Council of Churches wants the government to hurry up and create special courts for gender violence cases because the situation keeps getting worse across the country. Church leaders said Parliament already called for these courts back in July and pushed for spreading legal aid services around, but nothing has really happened yet. They pointed out that abuse goes against basic human dignity and shows deeper problems, like women getting shut out of leadership roles and communities having weak protection systems. The council told government officials, cops, traditional leaders, and regular people to put more work into prevention programs and helping survivors get back on their feet. Church groups promised to boost their own support efforts while backing campaigns that challenge toxic social attitudes and promote gender equality. [/QUOTE]
