This paper is aimed at exploring the application of case data systems in influencing sexual assault perpetration among women in Zanzibar. The paper specifically explored the use of case data system in gathering, recording and reporting sexual assault information to human service agencies in Zanzibar. The paper also explored the measures taken to reduce challenges of case data system in influencing sexual assault cases among married women. The study was conducted in Unguja Urban West Region in Zanzibar where four service agencies (Bububu Gender Desk, Madema Gender Desk, Department of Women and Children and Zanzibar Female Lawyers Association) were selected. The main target population was the female lawyers, social welfare officers, police officers, and IT technician. The data collection methods which were used included questionnaires, interviews and survey. The main findings of the study revealed that, lack of centralized database system in data gathering, recording and reporting system remains a big problem in the human services agencies. The study also indicated that human service agencies used traditional ways of files in recording, generating and managing sexual assault data. This was attributed to the challenges that sexual assault data were not routinely recorded, gathered or reported using harmonized case data systems, meaning that the data were not consistent and frequently not disaggregated by gender. Hence, this resulted to the increase rate of sexual assault incidences among women in Zanzibar. The study recommended that, there was an urgent need to establish national management information system or centralized database system for gathering, recording and reporting sexual assault data across all human service agencies. Finally, the study recommended for the need of proper coordination among key stakeholders responsible for managing sexual assault cases and attempting to develop a harmonized systemic and high standard documentation procedures to determine the kind of resources needed to remove such disasters
