VOA Uncovers Women Trafficking Ring in Zimbabwe

A VOA Zimbabwe Service investigation uncovered Zimbabwean women being trafficked to Kuwait.  The VOA effort sparked a parliamentary inquiry in Zimbabwe and the safe return of more than 120 girls. “I really want to give credit and recognition to the role that Studio 7 VOA played in this effort,” African Union Goodwill Ambassador on Ending Child Marriages Nyaradzai Gumbonzvanda told a meeting of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women.
