It is a good practice because cases of children and women abuse are so high and so rife in our District. More than 50 % case which are reported in our police stations around the District are that of women and children abuse. Many women and children were killed due to gender based violence in our various communities. Some of perpetrators are being arrested but released due to the lack of sufficient evidence. Our people are afraid to go and testify because they donâ € ™t want to be victimised by these perpetrators.So this type of workshops and awareness campaigns that we are doing to contentious people on how to fight gender based violence are very helpful. People can now report abuse cases without any fear and are also starting to avail themselves in court to testify. Some people now knows their rights as enshrined in our constitution.
