Zanzibar: National Plan of Action to end violence against women and children 2017-2022

This five-year National Plan of Action sets out clear evidence based pathways towards the elimination of violence against women and children. It outlines the specific steps that need to be taken in order to effectively prevent violence, and treat the harmful consequences of violence when it does occur.

Ending violence against women and children is not the responsibility of one institution or actor alone. It is the responsibility of all duty bearers and community members. It will require a dynamic collaboration between a range of government and community stakeholders working together in a consolidated National effort under one shared vision.
