Had a welcome to the show we start off in zimbabwe where more than half of women have been forced into office sexual favors in exchange for jobs medical care and even as School Sports children this is by Transparency International zimbabwe thats because bribery is widespread in that country while men often have the financial means to be bribes. And many end up paying with sex well talk to someone from france France International in a bad spot to fast he has one womans experience of being forced to pay a bribe with her body. The same bobbie 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 a family. Where i went to a local Company Looking for a job but when 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 they had to pay a bribe to be in a sexual relationship with one of the recruiting offices get. Once prosperous zimbabwe is an economic meltdown prices of ballooning and people struggling leaving even middle class women prone to exploitation. And. I consider 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. And she doesnt think 6 will exploitation in zimbabwe will decrease until the Economic Situation gets better. For more on this im joined by one daughter all from Transparency International zimbabwe. Many thanks for your time now. The rise in sexual bribery on 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 pushing 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 these the relationship between the extent to which the economy is shrinking and providing little pitching it is in bloom and then become vulnerable victims will be at the brunt of court action of this nature. Tell us why a woman being forced to pay bribes with sex. So i think the reasons but ill speak more to the main reason so the 1st thing is that bribery is the most common form. Its a pretty level in for bribe to take place is. To copy tall which is required you know. 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 op can find liberated the reductive economy so yes since then he is used as a car in c. But is it within the context of but i body being a pet of this form. And the corruption which i think has been in creating all culture. How serious really affects our sextortion. Something the effects of success and 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 the infected with hiv virus hiv virus as a result of sex part of it i think is a ball to the that. This. Also speaking about women most if we might be married and the impact of feet on the family. To disclose this form of question for fear that familial breakdown for fear that the society them some of these women are actually students. Or. So i think we need to look at it from a victim perspective from my kids took as perspective as. Does. All freemen i think confined in the disability was survived by selling tomatoes across all the streets so i think these are some of the impacts. Them the impact in terms of. Being affected by 6. Reproductive health like hiv aids. Now you mentioned 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 234 things that the government needs to to do that i think of the idea corruption. Needs to take into the very fact that this form of corruption does exist but the point is. That they use this form of corruption if it told it is. Sexual abuse all dualistic abuse so i think the under corruption all needs to glean into this reality the 2nd and most important thing is to depart. I put institutions with women chose to report that it. Fits that is the police i think if you talk about the police and it. I think even in europe so i think theres a need to put a friendly face some of these institutions thank you very much farai it was under a 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 too so what hes saying is that the Constitutional Court which is mandated to on rubble or to in top bridge the constitution and 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.

The man who once ruled hollywood is going to prison for. Film executive Harvey Weinstein has been convicted of 2 sex crimes including rape the verdict from a new York York Court comes more than 2 years after revelations of weinsteins misconduct prevent propelled the need to movements against sexual abuse and Sexual Harassment and so the global spotlight welcome to arts and culture im joined by our film reporter scott roxboro scott what exactly does this verdict mean for the Film Industry. 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 whites who 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 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
