“…Children who live and work on the street are prone to abuse and exploitation because they are not covered by the national child protection program. Their fundamental rights, such as shelter, food, and sanitation, are not well facilitated, so they are very vulnerable to transmission of disease, crime, neglect, and abuse (Manjengwa et al, 2016). Sexual abuse that occurs to street children has a lot to do with the use of narcotics and alcohol or sex exchange for specific items that support life such as money or food (Chen, 2015).…”

Streetlife is an unhealthy environment for children. However, in reality, social conflict, economical and low educational levels forced children to be involved in the rigors of street life. The involvement of children in street life carries a great deal of vulnerability for them, one of which is child sexual abuse (CSA). This study aims to examine the effectiveness of psychoeducation in increasing the knowledge of street children as a preventive measure in preventing sexual CSA. The psychoeducation consisted of five sessions, which were carried out using a discussion method that includes images and role-play. Fifteen street children aged 12 to 15 years were involved as participants. Data were collected through interviews and Children's Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire-Revised (CKAQ-R) to see the effectiveness of psychoeducation, then analyzed quantitatively. The results show that psychoeducation as a preventive intervention is effective in increasing the understanding, alertness, and skills of street children in dealing with the risk of CSA that may occur around them.

“…Agreement about this basic notion, and international accords that seek to right this wrong, are certainly longstanding; as far back as 1966 the United Nations International Covenant on Economic and Cultural Rights and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention on Social Security underlined the basic principal that everyone should be regarded as an equal member of society (Dhemba, 2014;Loewenson, 1998). Manjengwa, Matema, Tirivanhu, and Tizora (2016) observed that well-being grows out of households' and individuals' having adequate resources availability to meet basic needs for food, shelter, healthcare and education if they are to function in society with adequate income, security, self-confidence, and assurance of basic rights. Without adequate resources people are forced to use various health trade-off strategies, often compromising on healthcare and nutrition needs, or just ignoring illness symptoms (Nyamwanza & Mararike, 2012, p. 58).…”

“…During ordinary times households might be able to handle such increased costs, but if crisis hit a family, the situation could quickly become dire. While a household might be able to withstand one or several small crises, the accumulation of multiple shocks over time can slowly deplete resilience to future shocks, compromising current well-being (Manjengwa et al, 2016, p. 48).…”

“…Zimbabwe today has over one million orphaned children (17.9 % of all children in the nation) (ZIMSTAT, 2015). Although many orphans live with relatives, approximately one-tenth (100,000 children) live on their own or in households headed by a sibling younger than 18 years (Manjengwa et al, 2016). Section 76 of the national constitution states that access to basic healthcare is to be provided for all and at the expense of the state.…”

Socioeconomic Barriers to Universal Health Coverage in Zimbabwe: Present Issues and Pathways Toward Progress

This article assesses Zimbabwean health services, using a social workers' social development paradigm to analyze the dynamics of Zimbabwe's Social Security program, focusing on universal health access for older persons, orphans, and vulnerable children. This article identifies the key factors that have done the most to shape health policy administration in the broader context of social policies and social security in Zimbabwe. The discussion is framed around the need for pro-poor social policies, social inclusivity, and the efforts to ensure universal health access. Despite numerous reports, newspaper op-eds and consultancy documents offering opinions on the state of social service delivery in the country, most critics lack empirical data and end up being very anecdotal as they critique the present system. The socioeconomic context of Zimbabwe is therefore analyzed here, with the best available statistical evidence provided, followed by assessment of social policy interventions. Current challenges to access health services are evaluated using a human rights-based social policy approach. The recent Zimbabwe Ministry of Finance-led consultative process crafted a 2016 document, the Poverty Reduction Strategies Papers (PRSPs), as an overall strategy for transforming the Zimbabwean health sector. The article concludes by recommending community-based health insurance approach as most appropriate intervention for ensuring health inclusivity and enhancing health for all in Zimbabwe.
