"GBV, in many of its varied forms, is explored in this book, with findings and lessons that are applicable both within and beyond the Zimbabwean context. [...] COVID-19 and gender-based violence in Zimbabwe not only succeeds in its two goals—to document women’s experience and look ahead to pandemic preparedness—but also is a powerful source of lived experience. The words of women who have survived both GBV and COVID-19, in both their native languages and translated into English, provide powerful insight into the lives behind the statistics, and accountability to serve them better going forwards."
Phoebe Ashley-Norman, writing in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Volume 25, Issue 8, 845.
