Abstract

What is the problem with recognition of sexual violence and mass rape victims represented to be in the application of the article 65 and the new Constitution in Zimbabwe? Is going to be the first research question in this paper where it is going to try to be addressed a deeper knowledge about women and legal situation in Zimbabwe. The analysis is going to be performed following Bacchi approach ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ and complemented by de Greiff and Moghaddam approaches. As a result, it can be appreciated that despite legal advances, there are more factors that influence victims’ recognition and laws application in the country, therefore in theory the legal framework, despite some limitations, is more or less comprehensive, nevertheless the reality does not go with the theory and there is room to improve.
