Support Human Rights Defenders in Zimbabwe

For years Jenni Williams, Magodonga Mahlangu and members of WOZA ( Women of Zimbabwe Arise) and MOZA (Men of Zimbabwe Arise) have been beaten and arrested for organizing marches and street protests against President Mugabe’s repressive regime.  Yet despite police harassments, death threats, beatings, and imprisonment, they continue to fight for the rights of the Zimbabwe people.

In a wideangle 2009 film Demonstrating Under Dictatorship, Jenni Williams, Magodonga Mahlangu, and members of WOZA describe their experiences, with footage of a WOZA protest march and police beatings and harassment.



Acted Now: Tell police officers to quit beating and harassing members of Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) and all civil society members fighting for human and civil rights in Zimbabwe. Take Action Now
