Figure 13 Impact of lack of documentation on the enjoyment of human rights
For certain human rights and freedoms to be enjoyed, a national document is a prerequisite. Failure to acquire
the documents results in non-enjoyment of those particular rights. For instance, evidence gathered revealed that
people were disenfranchised from exercising their right to vote. People also failed to access education, health,
property and social welfare among other rights. The ZHRC is particularly concerned about the violation of human
rights due to lack of documentation, hence the interest to ensure universal access to documentation in Zimbabwe.
