2012 GBV Indicators Study - Botswana

The findings from the survey and police data show that GBV is the most flagrant violation of human rights in Botswana at the present time, yet only 6% of the 188 speeches by politicians over the last year focused on GBV, while 9% made some mention of the scourge. Only 5% of monitored news articles from Botswana covered GBV and, in these, perpetrators were three times more likely to be heard than survivors.
