Legal Evolution in Zimbabwe: Expanding Abortion Rights
This chapter explores a landmark ruling by Zimbabwe's High Court that broadens the eligibility for legal abortions, particularly for women and children who have faced rape. It critically examines the past restrictive laws that excluded victims of marital rape and minors, contrasting them with the recent judgment that emphasizes women's and children's rights. The chapter also highlights ongoing challenges and necessary support mechanisms to ensure effective implementation of this progressive legal change.
