Discrimination and Oppression of Women: A Social Work Exploration in Zimbabwe

Dickson M and Louis N

Women have always been known as the essence of the society; however their discrimination and oppression have narrowed or limited their proficiencies and aptitudes. It is this work’s contention to do an exploration on the tyranny and discrimination of women with precise orientation on Zimbabwe. Women have faced discrimination throughout the millenniums and are still facing the same forms of neglect. The paper holds that oppression of women emanates from different angles namely cultural, religious, social, marital and patriarchal as a nature of society. There seems to be a huge metamorphosis between women and men in the Zimbabwean society considering the responsibilities dispensed to women at the expense of men such as housekeeping and rearing of children. There are some top or influential positions only reserved for men hence the discrimination of women in regardless of gender equal rights. Domestic vehemence against women has converted proliferating in Zimbabwe for the past 2 decades which points to the oppression of women as they are defenseless. Religion has and is still frolicking a big role towards women’s oppression and discrimination as it instils submission and illegitimacy in women. This work is aimed at providing a scrutinized examination of the issue understudy providing a more panoramic technique of viewing the oppression and discrimination of women in Zimbabwe. There has to be a facilitation of policies to ensure that women are emancipated for positive participation.
