Women's participation in politics in Zimbabwe is low, with only 18% of parliamentarians being women, and it is not on track to meet the country's 50% target. Additionally, violations of women's rights, including domestic violence, in the country are high. Few women run for political office, women at the grassroots lack the spaces and the mechanisms to influence politicians, and women's rights are poorly understood at all levels of representation. In an effort to make politicians and the political system more responsive to women's rights, Womankind and its partner, Women in Politics Support Unit, will increase women candidates' ability to run successful campaigns, and influence political parties' manifestos to include greater attention to the protection of women's rights. It will also support communities to link with their political representatives and encourage greater transparency and accountability between political representatives and their constituencies. Finally it will improve women parliamentarians' understanding of women's issues. As a result of their work, the project will improve representation of and by women and increase action by all parties in support of women's rights.

In Ethiopia a high percentage of women and girls experience violence. The rates of FGM, sexual and domestic violence all remain high.This is the second phase of this project. The local partner, AWSAD will continue to provide a Safe House to accommodate women fleeing sexual and domestic violence in Addis Ababa, many of them with their children. They will also work with communities in three parts of the city to seek to change attitudes about violence against women and will train police and prosecutors in providing support to women who are seeking legal redress. Womankind will support AWSAD and help strengthen them to continue to deliver this work.
