Following the recent messages from the Minister of Gender Equality, Social Justice and Poverty Eradication we, Namibian women, and men are calling for her resignation.
Join us, and create a message to the leaders, including the Minister who calls for criminalizing withdrawing of cases, regardless of the various reasons provided. Yet, there is no resources, protection services or safe homes for victims and survivors.
Let's stand in solidarity and call for her resignation.

This. Is. Madness.

Gender minister Doreen Sioka’s repeated calls to lock up those who withdraw police complaints threatens to further muzzle abuse victims. https://www.namibiansun.com/news/sioka-accused-of-gbv-victim-blaming-2020-12-07/

Today is the first of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence and our newspapers report 11 lives devastated by GBV. Change is possible - we can simplify protection orders. These are already drafted and have been tested by magistrates themselves and are sent to the Ministry of Justice regularly to beg them to adopt them, but they just don't). Do you know someone who holds this change in their hands? Send us their email address (by DM if confidentiality is a concern) and we'll add it to today's mail sent out to leaders who can improve our protection orders. And remember to keep Protesting Online through the link in our bio.

Lives devastated:
- A man strangled his pregnant partner to death and then hanged himself. He was out on bail for two criminal cases one for the attempted murder of his girlfriend and another for aggravated robbery in which a victim was killed.
- A man murdered his partner and then burnt down the shop in which she remained.
- A man threatened the mother of his children with a spear and when she escaped with their children to a relative’s house, he hanged himself.
- A man r***d a 12-year-old girl in her home.
- A man r***d a mentally ill woman in her mother’s house.
- A man tried to r**e a 4-year-old girl in her home.
- A man r***d a 17-year-old girl in her home.

A lot of action promised by stakeholders.
Let's monitor and mobilize people to demand access to protection and health services. Let's demand stricter bail conditions and sentences for GBV convictions. Let's strengthen and support the rehabilitation programme of the Correctional Services.
Let's demand better care and protection for women and children!
