Zim women take to streets over loss of rights.
Zimbabwe women protest in Harare over a court case which disinherited a woman by following customary law. Angry women marched through downtown Harare last week to the court, where they delivered a written complaint about rulings that diminish women's rights. Her younger half-brother, son of their father's second wife, appealed to a magistrate's court and won. In July 1997 he kicked Venia out of the house in Mabvuku where she had lived with her parents until their death. She now lives in a shack in a neighbour's backyard.
