Zimbabwe Spotligth Initiative Country Programme: ILO-GBV in the work & Women Economic Empowerment

The Spotlight Initiative (SI) is a global partnership to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls which is being funded by the EU and implemented through the UN systems. The overall vision of the Spotlight Initiative in Zimbabwe is that women and girls realize their full potential in a violence-free, gender-responsive and inclusive Zimbabwe. The initiative will directly contribute to Zimbabwe’s achievement of two of the country’s prioritized Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 3 and SDG 5. The programme will contribute to the elimination of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and Harmful Practices (HP) through the creation of a broad partnership with civil society, Government, private sector, media, among others. It also aims to build a social movement of women, men, girls and boys as champions and agents of change at the national, subnational and community levels. The programme will offer a concentration of a comprehensive and integrated package of interventions across all six (6) pillars which are: Legislative and policy frameworks; institutional strengthening; prevention and social norms; delivery of quality essential services; data availability and capacities; and supporting the women’s movement.
