Human Trafficking
Provisions related to slavery are found in the Constitution at article 54 which declares that no person may be subjected to slavery. Article 93 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act also criminalises deprivation of freedom.
There appears to be no legislation in place in Zimbabwe prohibiting institutions and practices similar to slavery, although the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act criminalises pledging of female persons. 
Provisions related to servitude are found in the Constitution at article 54 which declares that no person may be subjected to servitude.
Provisions related to forced labour are found in the Constitution at article 55 which declares that no person may be made to perform forced or compulsory labour and the Labour Act which criminalises forced labour under article 4A.
Provisions related to trafficking in persons are found in the Trafficking in Persons Act which criminalises trafficking under article 3. This provision does not require exploitation and requires transportation.
