President Nangolo Mbumba says the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) are a reminder to act with purpose towards the elimination of gender-based violence in Namibia.

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the European Union (EU) have entered into a partnership to promote gender equality and combat gender-based violence.

This event signifies a commitment to a strategic partnership aimed at addressing GBV comprehensively.

Gender-based violence is a concern in Namibia.

This was said during the launch of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign in Kankudi village in the Kavango West Region.

President Hage Geingob has called on men to come to the forefront in the fight against gender-based violence (GBV) as the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
