Zimbabwe is one of the poorest countries in the world. Nearly one out of every two inhabitants lives below the poverty line. There have been occasional advances in the national economy, but the limited scope of these upswings has not been able to reduce poverty in any significant manner.
Children are the primary victims of this situation. Their rights to healthcare, nourishment and education remain by and large unprotected. Consequently, they are often forced into menial labour in order to aid their families financially.
In Zimbabwe, more than 13% of children are obliged to work. Many of them are forced to take jobs in the farming sector, where living and working conditions are extremely harsh. Others find employment in the even harsher diamond mines.
Today, this practice is largely criticized by the international community, which describes these diamonds as “blood diamonds”. Zimbabwe, for its part, has attempted to put an end to this kind of labor.
On account of extreme poverty, some children become entrapped in the slave trade. Recruited by traffickers, they end up being subjected to various forms of exploitation be it sexual, agricultural or domestic. Zimbabwe is, in effect, recognized as being a principal source and destination of human trafficking.
Recent efforts to eradicate this practice have begun to bear fruit, though this sad situation remains a painful reality to this day
In Zimbabwe, more than a quarter of young girls are forced to marry before they reach the age of 18.
Parents prepare them from a very early age for life as a child bride. However, these marriages often have deleterious consequences for the health of these young girls who do not understand what marriage entails.
