Historique
Zimbabwe has an estimated 1.4 million people living with HIV (PLHIV), 1.2 million of whom are between the ages of 15 and 64. Adult HIV prevalence has steadily decreased over the last ten years, declining from 18.1% in 2005 to 13.8% in 2015. Prevalence among children (0-14) is estimated at 1.6%. While the epidemic has declined among both men and women (15-49), women continue to bear disproportionate burden with prevalence levels of 16.7% compared to 10.5% among men in 2015. The same gender disparity is true for new infections, where women have an HIV incidence of 0.67%, compared to 0.28% among men (15-49).
Given the disproportionate HIV burden, number of new infections, and social and structural risk factors At least 13% (ZDHS 2015) of women in Zimbabwe have experienced physical or sexual violence. And while the country’s constitution provides equal protection under the law, legislation is rarely enforced to protect women. To combat and prevent this abuse, Zimbabwe Association of Church related Hospitals (ZACH) will roll out the following innovative model:
One Stop Centres (OSC)
Geographical coverage: 4 districts, namely Chimanimani, Umguza, Kwekwe and Umzingwane
The 2015 ZDHS revealed that at least 13% of women have experienced either physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. The report also showed that violence against women cuts across geographic locations, wealth or education quintiles. One Stop Centres as one of the many efforts to address the problem of Gender Based Violence in the country. “One-Stop” services represent a promising model for providing comprehensive care to survivors of gender-based violence, offering medical, legal and psychosocial services either within one location—a hospital or a stand-alone center— or through a referral system that links services. The main aim of the coordinated response model is to increase survivor safety and perpetrator accountability by coordinating and linking core services, including providing immediate to longer term health care, access to police and legal services, and culturally and age appropriate counselling services.
ZACH recognizes that addressing the nature and levels of gender based violence in Zimbabwe is a collective responsibility that requires involvement and partnership of all broader government stakeholders, community and civil society.
