Leo Wamwanduka explores how the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) is implemented by Zimbabwe’s public administration and civil society to address the problem of violence against women (VAW) in an African post-colonial context. Leo Wamwanduka comes from Zimbabwe and studied in 2013/14 in the Master of Public Management (MPM) course. His performance and commitment to the course were excellent and on the occasion of the New Year's reception in 2015, he received the DAAD prize for outstanding achievements from international students. This prize went to a student of the WiSo Faculty for the first time. There is more about this here including a photo of him: www.uni-potsdam.de/de/international/profil/stories/incoming/daadpreis/2014
