Well, that's exactly what happened in in Harare and Bulawayo on September 19th and 20th, 2013! The organization WOZA or Women of Zimbabwe Arise, is an activist group that strives to aid women in Zimbabwe a unified voice and also encourages them to stand up for their rights and freedoms. The hope behind this organization is to empower female leadership in the community. There are over 70,000 members and many are men. The founding member Jenni Williams however, has paid a hefty price for her commitment. Since the organization has begun, Jenni has been arrested over 40 times! On September 19th and 20th of 2013, Jenni organized a peaceful march to celebrate the UN International Day of PEACE and as a result she was beaten by police and arrested! So, I ask, where is the peace in that UN?
