Young boys at Okahandja took an oath against Gender-Based Violence and to be upstanding and responsible members of society.

The boys are being capacitated with social skills and mechanisms by the Blue Project - a branch of the Love in Network Namibia.

The government has reiterated its call for a multi-sectoral approach to tackling Gender-Based Violence.

The Minister of Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication, and Social Welfare, Doreen Sioka addressed a belated International Human Rights Day and Women's Day commemoration at Keetmanshoop. 

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.
