The Zimbabwe Women's Bureau (ZWB) is a Zimbabwean women's NGO established in 1978. ZWB started as an effort by black Rhodesian academics, activists and businesswomen to "raise the awareness of women in the country, especially black women". To escape censorship by the Rhodesian Front, ZWB used churches as meeting places, portraying their activity as prayer groups. After independence, their survey of women's perspectives was published as a book, We Carry A Heavy Load. As a branch of the National Farmer's Association of Zimbabwe, the Women's Bureau sponsored workshops and training sessions for women farmers.
