The Zimbabwe
Human Rights NGO Forum (also known as the "Human Rights Forum")
has been in existence since January 1998. Twelve non-governmental
organisations working in the field of human rights joined
together to provide legal and psychosocial assistance to the
victims of the Food Riots of January 1998.
The Human
Rights Forum has now expanded its objectives to assist victims
of organised violence, using the following definition:
"organised
violence" means the inter-human infliction of significant
avoidable pain and suffering by an organised group according
to a declared or implied strategy and/or system of ideas
and attitudes. It comprises any violent action, which is
unacceptable by general human standards, and relates to
the victims’ mental and physical well-being.
The Human
Rights Forum operates a Legal Unit and a Research and Documentation
Unit.

Our current
electronic activism protests Zimbabwe's
biased justice system.
