Zimbabwe—once Southern Africa’s bread basket—is starving for food, for water, for justice, for peace.

There can be no peace and rebuilding without human rights protection. Zimbabwe’s security forces are infamous for brutally silencing political opponents and violating human rights: this kind of impunity cannot continue. Human rights monitors are needed to bolster the stability of the unity government as Zimbabwe tries to rebuild its health system, its infrastructure, its politics, and the very fabric of society, which has been ripped apart by years of violence.
Help us reach 10,000 signatures in honor of this day, April 18, Zimbabwe Independence Day—a perfect day to celebrate new beginnings for a country too long torn by greed, corruption and human rights violations.
