sexual exploitation; children may be trafficked internally for
forced agricultural labor, domestic servitude, and sexual
exploitation; women and girls are lured out of the country to South
Africa, China, Egypt, and Zambia with false job or scholarship
promises that result in domestic servitude or commercial sexual
exploitation; there are reports of South African employers demanding
sex from undocumented Zimbabwean workers under threat of
deportation; women and children from Malawi, Zambia, and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo transit Zimbabwe en route to South
Africa; small numbers of South African girls are trafficked to
Zimbabwe for domestic labor
tier rating: Tier 3 - Zimbabwe does not fully comply with the
minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not
making significant efforts to do so
