March against domestic violence

A large number of people turned out on Saturday for a march to sensitise the Namibian public on the issue of domestic violence. Erongo Region has seen a surge in cases reported of domestic violence, and more specifically gender-based violence as in many instances women are the victims.
The march was a colourful event and many members of the public joined in as the march progressed through Kuisebmond.
People demanded a change in behaviour, especially from our Namibian men and said a country with such a small population with peace loving people could succeed to curb all forms of domestic violence.
