Some of our findings on Zambia are that:

There has been a steady reduction in the average time in police detention from 36 days in 2006 to 8 days in 2011

There is a dire need to train law enforcement officers in human rights law and knowledge

GBV cuts across class and creed; and efforts to curb it must include counselling offenders

Act

We have trained police officers in Lusaka Province and Southern Province in human rights law and developed tool kits to enable women access, utilise and own land
