The PDM leader has also shown support for the rights of the LGBTQI community, saying that though his party's policy stance does not support the formalisation of same-sex marriages, those who identify remain a part of the country's society.
Venaani further says that Namibia is a liberal country, and harsh policies to punish the gay community have no place in Namibia.
President of the Popular Democratic Movement, McHenry Venaani, plans to table a Private Persons Bill aimed at addressing the "unfair discrimination" of minorities in Namibia.
Venaani, at a media conference, expressed what he termed concerns regarding the continuous neglect and failure of Namibia's current policies to protect the rights of minority groups.

PDM is also advocating for the effective transformation of young people.
PDM leader McHenry Venaani says the recent actions by the children of the liberation struggle have the potential to pose a security threat, urging the government to urgently address their plight.
The call comes after a group of Struggle Kids recently blocked entry to the Ministry of Defense and locked offices with chains.
Many of the Struggle Kids are now grown up, but as orphans, their parents died as a consequence of the pre-independence fights.
Over the years, they have staged many protests, calling on the government to give them jobs.
