Three Gender-Based Violence (GBV) survivors and activists who arrived in Swakopmund after walking 370 kilometres from Windhoek say suicide is not a solution to GBV.

Reverend June Dolley Major, a South African national, has urged survivors to speak out and for communities to stop shaming them.

Major says she got a vision from God to walk long distances with the aim of creating awareness and giving hope to victims.

She became an activist for gender-based violence after another priest raped her.
