Sexual Exploitation Of Female Cross-Border Traders Rampant

Sexual Exploitation Of Female Cross-Border Traders Rampant

Zimbabwean female cross-border traders routinely experience sexual exploitation while attempting to smuggle goods into the country.

According to the Zimbabwe Gender Commission (ZGC) 2023 report tabled in Parliament, border employees, smugglers, and truck drivers are cited as key perpetrators, with reports of rape, robbery, and coercion for sexual favours.

Women using illegal entry points are particularly vulnerable as they fear arrest if they report these crimes. The ZGC, in collaboration with the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, conducted an investigation at Plumtree Border Post to substantiate allegations of abuse. The report reads in part:

This was a culmination of social media reports indicating the prevalence of sexual crimes of rape and various forms of GBV being perpetrated on women trying to cross the border and smuggling of commodities across the border.

This gave birth to the need to gather countrywide information as it was discovered that these were not isolated incidences and that women cross-border traders were facing systemic gender issues at ports of entry and exits.

According to the report, some women reported being raped by robbers while using illegal entry points.
However, it was difficult for some to report such cases to the police because they occurred during an illegal act. The victims feared they would also be arrested for using undesignated ports of entry.

The report also noted a lack of basic facilities for cross-border traders, such as bathrooms and safe houses.

These amenities are crucial for providing temporary shelter and protection, especially for breastfeeding mothers and deportees.

In areas like Chirundu and Kariba, where communities are located within game reserves, cross-border traders face additional risks from wildlife, including attacks by baboons, lions, and elephants.

Men are to blame in this equation of abuse. Cross boarder could be an issue of fending children abandoned by irresponsible men.
