The Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication, and Social Welfare Minister, Doreen Sioka, says she is disturbed by incidences of gender-based violence in Namibia, despite the enactment of many laws to combat GBV.

She made these remarks during the commemoration of the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons at Oshikango in the Ohangwena Region.

Sioka particularly warned against killing women and children.
