Rural women under the Namibia Rural Women's Assembly organization held a demonstration against gender-based violence at Ekamba Village in the Oshana Region.

The Assembly brought together women from the Oshana, Omusati, Oshikoto, and Ohangwena regions to sell their products and exchange business ideas.

Vice-President Nangolo Mbumba is calling on local churches to join the government in promoting unity, harmony, and peace in society.

Mbumba made this call at the Roman Catholic Church's 13th "Inter-Regional Conference of the Bishops of Southern Africa," (IMBSA), in the capital.
