Zim struggling to promote children’s rights

JUSTICE, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs minister Ziyambi Ziyambi says fiscal space and worsening economic challenges are inhibiting Zimbabwe’s efforts to promote children’s rights.

Ziyambi is attending the 43rd Ordinary Session of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child in Maseru, Lesotho.

He said economic challenges due to economic sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by Western countries and their allies have also affected implementation of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.
