According to our report, Zvikomborero Maria Makedenge, 33, has been remanded in custody in Harare after being charged with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy in Glen View.
Legal experts emphasize that sexual assault against minors is treated seriously regardless of the perpetrator’s gender. Advocates warn that cases involving female offenders and male victims are often underreported, and societal biases can worsen trauma for boys.
Child protection organizations are calling for stronger enforcement and awareness to safeguard minors, while psychologists highlight the long-term psychological impact of such abuse.
The next court hearing is scheduled later this month, with further evidence expected. Experts and activists stress that justice must be applied equally, ending double standards and ensuring all children are protected.
