Ett av de projekt som kopplades till vårt arbete med kuben är vårt årliga "Country Project" som är ett tvärvetenskapligt projekt där fokus ska ligga på förståelsen för andra länder och kulturer, i detta fall engelsktaliga länder då engelskan är ett av de ämnen som driver projektet. I år lade vi till punkten att varje grupp skulle undersöka mänskliga rättigheter i de land de valt, de fick välja mellan kvinnorätt, barns rättigheter eller HBTQ. 

Här kommer undersökningen för Zimbabwe:

"Children of Zimbabwe 

By every need, children living a dreadful life in a poor condition, having no parents or not being able to get enough supplies for the day. May in our opinion have the access getting a daily dose of water to survive, bread to feed themselves and a bed to sleep in.  

As middle-class individuals, we are not capable of helping every single one of them, not even the majority of all kids out there. We have different kinds of helping organisations, both in Sweden and around the world. By that being said, trying to solve this humongous problem. We come upon unknown mistakes and fraud in our past. There are thousands of reasons why this problem keep on laying on the edge of us, blame it or not. As you might have guessed, the main problem lies in the national economy of Zimbabwe. According to a website named humanium.org[Fotnot] Zimbabwe is one of the poorest countries worldwide. A definition of a good life, a concept of economy, so bad every two inhabitants lives below the poverty line. There have been slight approved upswing in limited scope, but surely haven’t reduce poverty in any significant manner.  

Education, nourishment and healthcare are supposed to be given in a country. Forced into menial labour in order to aid their families financially, is far away from a lack of children human right.  

Zimbabwe itself hasn’t been stated as a country inscribed in UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. In conclusion, the State plays a great role in the protection of children’s rights. Although the State has made it an offence to have sexual intercourse or indecent acts with children, offences such as rape, sodomy and indecent assault continue being committed by adults. The right to education and the right to health of children are still being violated due to religious grounds for example apostolic sects. It is therefore imperative that the Church engages in massive civic education to promote the rights of children in faith communities, especially African Initiated Churches. 

Bantu civilian Shona and Ndebele has populated Zimbabwe in almost 2000 years. Shona erected stone city of Great Zimbabwe, which carried out extensive trade. In the 1800s came the European colonizers. The British came to control the area, and in 1923 became Southern Rhodesia, a British colony. When Rhodesia was proclaimed as an independent in 1965 got the black not suffrage, and therefore was not recognized country of the world. After a long war of liberation of the Black Nationalist groups was proclaimed nation of Zimbabwe in 1980. Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF Party won big in the first free elections. Between 200 BC and 300-century AD wandered Shona and Ndebele gradually into the area which today is Zimbabwe. Still, these two nations almost the entire country's population

To make a long story short, during a period there has been a fight of honour to make Zimbabwe to a peaceful country. Still it remains in a dust of rebels and higher stated people; there is no such thing as control in the land of Zimbabwe. No matter how you turn and look around."
