The Namibian Police is intensifying their efforts and operations to ensure road safety and reduce road trauma.
NamPol has recorded a decrease in road crashes and injuries during 2023 compared to last year.
From the 1st of January 2023 until November 12, 2023, about 2,553, 4,508 injuries, and 357 fatalities were recorded countrywide.
Healing from trauma is one of the key aspects of achieving women's and girls empowerment.
This is according to speakers at a women's and girls empowerment conference at Walvis Bay, who have expressed concern over the effects of trauma on the community.
Established in 2014, the Healing Wound Association offers, among other things, psychosocial support and education on mental health in the Erongo Region.
The association hosted a two-day conference for women and girls at Walvis Bay to empower and equip them with skills to advance in society.
