Young
women in Bulawayo have called for the increase of manpower and allocation of
more resources to the Victim Friendly Units (VFU) of all police stations, as a
way of facilitating easier reporting of cases of gender-based violence.
Speaking
at a young women’s round table meeting to commemorate 16 days of activism
against gender based violence, the young women said that although the introduction
of the VFUs by government was a noble idea, a lot still needed to be done,
particularly with regards to channelling more resources to the unit to make it
more efficient.
