Whilst this is a positive development, these women still face many challenges like sexual harassment. There seems to be an apparent dearth of literature about the phenomenon of sexual harassment of women in the Information Technology field in Zimbabwe especially students on work-related learning (WRL). ICT students on WRL are most vulnerable and susceptible to sexual harassment mainly because they attend to IT-related concerns from employees at the lower-level hierarchy of an organisation to employees at the highest-level hierarchy of an organisation. Consequently, this qualitative research study sought to identify strategies used to deal with sexual harassment especially coming from the experiences of the IT students on WRL. Data was collected through in-depth interviews from twenty IT university students in Zimbabwe. Data was analysed and key strategies were identified through structural coding and thematic analysis. These strategies were supervisory support, forming pseudo relationships, avoidance, escort and effective no. The findings of this research will contribute to a better understanding of the challenges faced by ICT students during their work-related learning period, especially regarding sexual harassment. Consequently, the study's findings may provide useful insights to policymakers and educators on how to create a safe learning environment for students in the workplace. Thus, this research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical study on strategies to deal with sexual harassment especially coming from the experiences of the IT WRL students in developing countries. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z Theo Tsokota https://cris.library.msu.ac.zw//handle/11408/6086 Title: The dark side of Mobile Money Transfer : A case study of Zimbabwe: The 9th Annual ACIST Proceedings (2023), held on 14th -15th September 2023 in Harare, Zimbabwe and Virtual Authors: Theo Tsokota; Colletor T. Chipfumbu Kangara; Melody Maseko Abstract: Mobile money transfer has been widely presented in the literature and in practice as a way to bring the poor, unbanked and backward communities into the mainstream financial system. The main objective of this paper is to provide insights into how mobile money transfer has contributed to the negative effects on Zimbabwe's economy and its citizens. Using integrative literature this study explores the how mobile money transfers have negatively affected the economy of Zimbabwe and its citizens. The findings show that mobile money, if not properly regulated, can promote money laundering, fraud and financial irregularities, which can harm the entire economy and lead to negative impact to vulnerable groups. This study contributes to the literature on financial inclusion and has provided an insight into how mobile money can be used in negative ways to destroy the economy and how it is used to exclude or inflict pain on vulnerable groups. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z Theo Tsokota Colletor T.
