Namibians, particularly the youth have been embracing activism through public protests, against issues such as Gender-Based Violence.

Affected families and community members would protest at courts demanding that perpetrators not be granted bail.

But some activists have now shifted their protests towards employment-related matters including calls for equality, and social change.  
The action of using vigorous campaigning or causing disruptions is to bring about political or social change, at the national or community level.

Mental health activists have urged parents to create a safe environment for their children to feel comfortable enough to speak up when they have problems.

Mental health activist Immagine Shikomba calls on parents to be more open-minded by accepting that mental health is real.

This advice comes in light of Mental Health Awareness Month, which aims to educate the public about mental health and stigma.
