| Summary: | The study aimed at investigating the role of MWAGCD in reducing domestic violence in Zengeza 4 Chitungwiza District. The study traced the various causes and effects of domestic violence on women. Women are an integral group of people with vast potential to achieve development in political, economic and social dynamics of the nation. The study was conducted in Zengeza 4 targeting women and ministry’s staff. Although scholars have gathered capacious literature on domestic violence in Zimbabwe and Africa in as a whole domestic violence is still continuing. The study is an investigational case of MWAGCD on its mandate to reduce domestic violence in Zengeza 4 using qualitative methodology. The study revealed that MWAGCD has managed to raise awareness and administers programmes that seek to reduce domestic violence. Limitations were noticed in relation to MWAGCD such politicization, lack of funding, deep rooted cultural practices. Therefore there is need for effective monitoring of programmes and proper implementation of polices that seek to reduce domestic violence in Zimbabwe. The researcher managed to manage to work past difficulties to come up with a reliable research and recommendations were given. |
