Overview
Despite Zambia's binding international commitments, significant challenges persist. GBV affects nearly half of Zambian women. The enforcement of the Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Acts has created a complex landscape for digital rights. ZIN provides NGOs with technical capacity through interns in International Law, Psychology, and Advocacy.
Key Challenges
Nearly 50% of Zambian women have experienced physical or emotional violence
Rural communities lack shelters and legal aid for GBV survivors
Complex digital rights landscape under revised Cyber Crimes Act (2025)
How ZIN Helps
We place interns with expertise in International Law, Psychology, and Advocacy to document violations, develop sensitization campaigns, and support fundraising efforts.
