'Since inception in 1984, the Legal Resources Foundation has more than lived up to its motto of striving for justice and empowering the rural and urban poor, especially disadvantaged women, by simply making practical and invaluable information available to them. The LRF has truly walked the talk and become a shining beacon in an environment that is more polarised than ever before as a direct result of politically-induced and retrogressive socio-economic policies which the beleaguered Zimbabweans have had to endure during the last 36 years.' - Muchadeyi Ashton Masunda
