Weaver Press is a dynamic independent publishing house formed in 1998 to publish books from and about Zimbabwe.
Weaver’s growing fiction list now features over 120 Zimbabwean short story writers, and our novelists include several international prize-winners who were first published by Weaver Press. Our non-fiction list focuses on political and social history, the environment, media issues, and women and children’s rights; it features many esteemed scholars from inside and outside Zimbabwe whose work looks at Zimbabwe’s developments from a wide range of viewpoints.
Weaver Press also works closely with NGO partners in the arts and culture, human rights and development. We undertake freelance work on their behalf in the research and publication of texts. Enquiries from interested organisations are always welcome.
Through our links with libraries, universities, literary associations, book fairs, and NGOs, and by offering access to a range of networks, we ensure that information and ideas are widely spread

Water is Life: Women’s human rights in national and local water governance in Southern and Eastern Africa
This book approaches water and sanitation as an African gender and human rights issue. Empirical case studies from Kenya, Malawi, South Africa and Zimbabwe show how coexisting international, national and local regulations of water and sanitation respond to the ways in which different groups of rural and urban women gain access to water for personal, domestic and livelihood purposes. Explores how women cope in contexts where they lack secure rights, and participation in water governance institutions, formal and informal.
