We are in the commemoration of the 16 days of activism from 25th November to 10 December. This is an annual commemoration that aims at raising awareness of the issues of Gender Based Violence worldwide.

The theme this year is "Unite to end digital violence against girls and women"

Digital violence include cyber bullying - hurtful words and comments that are directed to what people post online based on their gender. In this digital era, it is very important that people know the principles of cyber etiquette and especially the effect that it can take on an individuals mental health. Hurtful words go beyond what we imagine, they stay with the person long after we have said them, and this can breed depression, anxiety and even leading to the dreadful action of su***de.

In the same vein we join other countries especially South Africa in speaking out against sexual violence and eventually killing of innocent women and sexual abuse of underage girls.

Let us unite to end Gender Based Violence!
