August 2026 | Zimbabwe GBV Tracker
1 indexed fatal people · 3 indexed serious non-fatal events. Reviewed 11 October 2026.
This calendar period has ended; the incomplete register remains open to late reports and corrections. This is an incomplete, nonprobability public-source register. It cannot estimate national incidence, prevalence or perpetrator distributions and must not be used to rank countries.
Counting note: fatal figures count people; serious non-fatal figures count distinct events. These are different units and should not be added together. See Methods & Data Dictionary →

Month and cumulative reconciliation
August: 1 fatal people / 3 non-fatal events. Cumulative from August through this month: 1 fatal people / 3 non-fatal events.
Fatal people and non-fatal events use different units. Linked survivors in one episode remain one non-fatal event. Full occurrence/discovery dates, provisional classifications, gender fields, justice status and source URLs are preserved in each linked history.
