Female student leaders face ongoing harassment
In November 2019, Abiona Mataranyika made history by becoming the first female to be elected as president of the University of Zimbabwe Student Representative Council, more than six decades after the inception of this higher learning institution.
It has not been an easy road, and she has had to face continuing cyber-bullying, including trolling and insensitive and defamatory remarks.
Yet Mataranyika, who is pursuing a dual honours degree in French and Portuguese, soldiered on.
In an interview with
University World News, she said the online harassment continues up to this day.
“There was character assassination. People would create ghost accounts to say bad things about me. There was body shaming; wanting to make me feel inferior,” she said.
