When Evernice Munando founded the Female Students Network Trust (FSNT) in 2005, it was almost unheard of for young women to be elected to Zimbabwe’s influential Student Unions, considered to be the training ground for the country’s future political leaders.
Evernice explains that sexual harassment and discrimination are the greatest challenges facing young women at universities in Zimbabwe.
