World March of Women in Solidarity with Rita Nyampinga

It is with a deep concern that we received the notice of arrest of Rita Nyampinga, a comrade and Coordinator of Zimbabwe chapter of World March of Women, in the airport of Harare, when returning from a Human Rights Training.  Currently, Rita is awaiting a call to court on 20 June 2019.

We members of World March of Women, from 18 countries convening in São Paulo, Brazil with allied movements; we extend our solidarity to Rita and other fellow citizens who are held in custody or suffering prosecution.

We denounce all forms of intimidation and attack to Activists and Human rights defenders, and we call for international solidarity!

We will be on the March, until all women are free!
