*DIGITAL VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC COSTS ZIMBABWE $1.36 BILLION ANNUALLY AS TRADE UNIONS DEMAND URGENT WORKPLACE REFORMS*

*By Fanuel Chinowaita*

*MUTARE – 2 December , 2025* – A coalition of trade unions and civil society organizations sounded a national alarm on Saturday, revealing that gender-based violence (GBV) costs Zimbabwe a staggering USD $1.36 billion annually—nearly 4% of the country’s GDP—while issuing urgent demands for workplace reforms to combat a parallel epidemic of technology-facilitated abuse.

The stark economic revelation headlined the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) Manicaland’s commemoration of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, held under the theme “Her Rights, Her Space, Her Voice – Online and Offline.”

The forum painted a dire portrait of a nation grappling with pervasive physical and sexual violence now supercharged by digital platforms, with new data showing 39.4% of women aged 15-49 experienced physical violence in the past year and 11.6% endured sexual violence in 2024.

“Digital violence is a significant and growing concern in Zimbabwe, excessively affecting women, journalists and political activists,” stated a keynote address delivered on behalf of ZCTU President Florence Mucha Taruvinga.

The address cited alarming studies indicating over 75% of female university students have faced cyber harassment, while 63% of women journalists have been targeted by technology-facilitated GBV.
