Support the Zimbabwe Nurses Association for Human Rights
Zimbabwe Nurses Association for Human Rights (ZimNAHR)
May 22, 2008

We are calling on all the resident professional nurses, those in the Diaspora, the civic society and all interested individuals to come forward and support our association. We are seeking to network and position the professional nurses properly as advocates and custodians of human rights.

The ongoing political violence, the crumbling social system together with the global food shortages have created too many casualties whose plight we can not continue to ignore anymore. We would like to advocate for a peaceful, intimidation free society in which individuals have the right to chose between and whats not.

We are therefore kindly requesting for support to enable our organization to get to the victims of political violence countrywide so that we may provide specialized nursing services to the affected and those who can not access health care, Our agenda is clear. As health practitioners we are central to the human rights issue. Our agenda is apolitical, we are advocating for a peaceful, democratic and prosperous country where everyone plays an active role in working towards the attainment of MDGs. This can only be possible in a state in which everyone has access to health care.

We will soon be conducting outreaches to offer nursing services to victims of political violence, xenophobia, social decline and HIV/AIDS. We will require medicines, transport and food to carry out the nursing outreaches.

The Zimbabwean issue is everyone's issue none but ourselves are the solution to the problems we have. As health professionals we have identify our role in all this, its now up to society to respond.
