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. 43 43
