In unity from a charge of measuring his fast what. I. Hello and welcome to the show we start off in zimbabwe where more than half of women have been forced to offer. In exchange for jobs medical care and even a School Sports for the children this is according to reports by Transparency International zimbabwe thats because bribery is widespread in that country but while men often have the financial means to be bribes women generally dont and many end up paying with sex well talk to someone from just France International in a bad spot to fast is one womans experience of being forced to pay a bribe with her body. This him bob and woman has experienced 1st hand the pain of having to use sex to get work the single mother of 3 wishes to remain anonymous to protect her family. I went to a local Company Looking for a job my name didnt appear on the list of job seekers when i asked why i was told that to get a job at a company you want to have to pay a bribe to be in a stick sure relationship with one of the recruiting offices get. Once prosperous zimbabwe is in economic meltdown prices are ballooning and people are struggling leaving even middle class women prone to exploitation. And. I think is a painful and stressful experience but out of desperation and thinking of my family i had to do it i needed to pay my Childrens School fees and there was no one else who could help me and it wasnt easy but there was nothing else i could do. He still what this condition would. And she doesnt think 6 will exploitation in zimbabwe will decrease until the Economic Situation gets better. For more on this im joined by. From Transparency International zimbabwe. Many thanks for your time now your limbs the rise in sexual bribery corruption and financial instability can you help us explain the correlation here. So thank you so much saul. What was going through the worst economic crisis the less opportunities for people to get jobs the limited opportunities only exist in the Informal Sector and the little which it is in the form. They force women to use sex as a car to Octane Services like Employment Opportunities to force the men to use sex as a confidence to defend their life you would as they engage in formal business such as court cross border trading so i think that relationship between the extent to economy is shrinking and providing little but unity is and then become vulnerable victims will be of the brunt of court action of this nature. Tell us why a woman being forced to pay bribes with sex in zimbabwe. So i think the prisons but ill speak more to the main reason so the 1st thing is that bribery is the most common form. Faced its a pretty level enfold bribe to take place theres a requirement of. Access to capital which is required. And then they have now forced to use sex as something of value. So i think chief among that is the very fact that women by gender stereotypes the up can find liberating the reductive economy so you 6 then he is used as a car in c. But is it within the context of but i bought it being a pet this fall. And the corruption which i think has been ingrained in our culture. How serious really affects our sextortion. So the effects of succession i think the unimaginable i think. You need to link it up with the shelf section to productive healthy where we have had cases where some women i think infected with hiv virus result of sex but of it i think is a ball to the whole man that. This. Is a car. Its also speaking about women most if we might be married and the impact of feet on the family. Not to disclose this form of question for fear that the familial breakdown for fear that this was. Them some of these women actually stood. So i think we need to look at it from a victim perspective from my kids took as perspective as. Does. All 3 men i think find in the disability to say. By selling tomatoes across all the streets so i think these are some of the impacts with. Them the impact in terms of. Being infected by sick. And productive healthy like hiv aids. Now you mention that this sort of thing has become like a culture in society and thats very serious so how do we tackle sextortion. I saw them for things that the government does a probably needs to to do that i think of the un to corruption. Needs to take into the very fact that this form of corruption does exist but the point. That they use this form of corruption if it told it is. Sexual abuse or Domestic Abuse so i think the decryption lol needs to gleen into this reality the 2nd and most important thing is to depart. And it puts institutions which women chose to report and it. Fits that is the police i think if you talk about the point isnt it. I think even in europe so i think to put a friendly face some of these institutions thank you very much for i would wander from Transparency International zimbabwe.

Put before the mud just to court and this is the lowest court in the soldier that was supposed to charge him with but i an attempt at maida and that argument was that as a sitting Prime Minister charging him with a criminal offense can present a constitutional crisis for the kingdom of 2 so what hes saying is that the Constitutional Court which is mandated to unravel or to in tough bridge the constitution in the so too must now make a determination whether in fact he can be charged as a sitting Prime Minister now theres a lot of pressure on him to step down what is likely to happen now. Well you know that he said he will step down either in july or before that provided.

Well i think this is a real reckoning for the Film Industry a lot of people within hollywood who are hoping for more serious convictions against you might be disappointed by the outcome of this trial but i think the fact that a man who was once so powerful as Harvey Weinstein was within the Film Industry i mean this is a man who who had around 81 oscars to his name through through the various productions that he did the fact that a man like that could have been brought down all brought down in this way and will serve jail time for the crimes that he committed suggests that no one is too powerful to to not face justice and i think thats a major shift from just a couple of years ago where the kind of activities that Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of were almost accepted as part of the way of doing business in hollywood i think that is over and that powerful man
