Mr Abel Chikomo has served as the Executive Director of the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum since 2008. Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum is a coalition of nineteen human rights NGOs in Zimbabwe, and its activities include transitional justice work, human rights research and documentation and public interest litigation.

Despite the challenges faced, the human rights defenders community in Zimbabwe is well organised, active and broad-based in terms of issues and actors involved. It includes NGOs, faith-based groups, human rights lawyers, student activists, social movements, community-level activists, trade unionists and members of the political opposition. Womens’ rights defenders are prominent.
