2.10. In its concluding observations, the Commission passed a recommendation for Zimbabwe to undertake a comprehensive review of the application of statutory and customary laws in the country with a view to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect the human rights of women and girls from discriminatory practices and to ensure fair dispensation of justice. The Constitution provides a comprehensive Bill of Rights that adequately addresses the rights of women and children. As opposed to the previous Lancaster House constitution, the current Constitution clearly states in Section 80 (3) that all laws and customs and cultural practices that infringe the rights of women are void to the extent of the infringement. Furthermore, Government embarked on the process of aligning all laws to the Constitution and this alignment process is now in its final lap. This was done in an effort to fully give effect to the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. Challenges 2.11. The following challenges have been noted by the GoZ a. Some private buildings are still not accessible to persons with disabilities although most public buildings have been adjusted to promote accessibility by persons with disabilities. b. There have been some limited delays in the alignment of legislation to address discrimination due to huge staff turnover of technical experts in the area of disability. c. The operations of the Independent Commissions which monitor discrimination are limited by resource constraints. Responses 2.12. The following measures are being pursued by Government in order to address the above noted challenges. a. The Government of Zimbabwe adopted a policy to ensure that all public buildings are accessible to persons with disabilities. Page | 5
