¶1. (U) Zimbabwe's anti-trafficking hotline, which was
launched in December 2008, has received relatively few calls,
largely due to inadequate publicity and public awareness of
the hotline. After initial troubles with the functionality
of the line, hotline operators report that the phone number
is now working. Regrettably, hotline operators are fielding
few calls.
¶2. (U) There is one anti-trafficking hotline in Zimbabwe.
Information below is keyed to questions in reftel.
Country: Zimbabwe
Local Number: 0800-32-22-222
Organization Operating the Hotline: Oasis Zimbabwe (this
local NGO runs the hotline with funding from the
International Organization for Migration)
Notes/Comments: The hotline works best when dialed from a
landline. Callers using Zimbabwean cellular phones may not
be able to reach the hotline.
