THE recent spate of gender-based violence (GBV) in the country has been attributed to domestic fights and attracted fierce criticism from Government and women organisations.
Gender and Child Development Permanent Secretary Daisy Ngambi is saddened that despite the community being sensitised, the levels of GBV have continued to escalate. “Government is doing all it can but the levels have continued going up.”
She has attributed the escalating cases of GBV to lack of understanding between men and women. “I think the causes of GBV are both social and economic and both men and women should learn to co-exist,” Ms Ngambi said.
Additionally, Young Women Christian Association executive director Patricia Ndhlovu retaliated calls for more sensitisation messages to be sent in the communities and cautioned people to resolve matters amicably without getting physical.
A woman does not have the right to bruise her husband’s manhood’s when she is denied conjugal rights. “All in all, there is no justification whatsoever to get physical to get what you want,” Ms Ndhlovu said.
And she also welcomed the launch of the forensic laboratory by Government as it will quicken the pace at which GBV cases will be disposed off.
