“As women police officers, we will work hand in hand with the community, particularly men, to ensure that rights of women and children are protected,” said Kaunda.
Machinga District Social Welfare Officer (DSWO), Bertha Mijoya, urged stakeholders to join hands in protecting and promoting the rights of children and women for development to forge ahead in the district.
Mijoya therefore appealed to parents and guardians to avoid subjecting children to situations which can easily make them fall prey to GBV perpetrators.
She said: “People should report all cases of gender based violence to responsible institutions to end the vice.”
Traditional Authority (T/A) Nkula commended the police for organising the campaign, saying it has come at a right time when Machinga is grappling to end the GBV cases.
“Traditional Leaders will give the police the necessary support to end GBV in our communities,” assured T/A Nkula.
