18 5.2 Litigation violations. ZLHR assists individuals who are victims of human rights violations to assert their right to an effective remedy through claims for damages for wrongful actions. Anti-impunity claims not only increase accountability, but foster responsible action and facilitate reform by those targeted in the long term.  The programme engaged in strategic human rights litigation that has an impact on the wider community, thus benefitting more people beyond the primary litigant in a specific case. Under this priority area, ZLHR took up cases in three main categories. The first thematic area is constitutional litigation, focusing on bringing cases before the constitutional court to challenge unconstitutional laws and arbitrary decisions that are inconsistent with the Constitution. The second thematic area is strategic impact litigation, focusing on court action to challenge arbitrary decisions by state functionaries that have the effect of violating fundamental human rights. Strategic impact litigation normally has a wider impact than the primary litigant for the case. ZLHR also expanded legal services for key populations and PLHIV. The third category is anti-impunity litigation which seeks to strengthen the ability of the public to hold state and non-state actors accountable for human rights 99 Of the strategic litigation cases, 31 cases related to economic, social and cultural rights where ZLHR took advantage of the provisions of the constitution that now enshrines economic, social and cultural rights such as the right to education (section 75 of the Constitution), right to health care (section 76), Right to food and water (section 77) and protection against arbitrary eviction and demolition of homes (section 74).
