‘Zim failing to meet human rights commitments’

ZIMBABWE is failing to meet key international human rights commitments, with millions of citizens facing worsening access to water, sanitation, housing, income and civil liberties, according to new data released by the Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI).

According to the report, Zimbabwe scored 63,1% on HRMI’s Quality of Life Index, which measures performance on the rights to education, food, health, housing and work.
