We are thrilled to share a milestone achievement in our education support program! This year, over 65 students have successfully graduated from grade 12 through our scholarship initiative. This remarkable accomplishment marks a significant step forward in empowering our youth and fostering a brighter future for our community. We are particularly proud of these young individuals for overcoming incredible challenges like teenage pregnancy and substance abuse, to reach this milestone. Their resilience and determination serve as a testament to the power of education and support. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our support team for being so instrumental in shaping the lives of young people in our community. This is our largest group of boys and girls our program has ever produced and it's been such an honor to serve these great minds. Together, we look forward to continuing our work towards creating positive change and opportunities for the youth in Zambia. "

Team Bakashana last weekend attended the FEMINIST FESTIVAL in Lusaka which was organized by our partner organization, This was a very powerful celebration of women's empowerment and resilience. The event showcased talented women leading their own brands and initiatives, breaking barriers and challenging societal norms. A profound takeaway was the importance of self-acceptance and inner confidence for women to thrive in leadership roles. Many women struggle with deep seated inferiority complexes, which serve to hinder to their ability to own their power and authority. Witnessing the unapologetic confidence and authenticity of these women was a testament to the transformative power of self-love and acceptance.

Our call to action has been answered in the form of this Bill. We are hopeful that it will be passed in the Parliament. If you remember, this is the demand we petitioned for when marching in support of Survivors of Violence in March.

CABINET has approved the Criminal Procedure Code (Amendment) Bill 2025 for publication and introduction in Parliament during the current sitting, which - if passed into law - will see defilement, r**e, in**st, medicine, and stock thefts become non-bailable offences.

The proposed legislation seeks to provide for forensic criminal procedures and will also see theft of copper, diamond, gold, railway, aircraft, vertical signalisation installation with associated facilities and installations, distribution system, transmission system, vessels, traffic sign and navigation non-bailable.

The Bill will make the destruction of, or damaging of an aircraft, distribution system, transmission system, road airport infrastructure, aerodrome, vessel and navigation mark non-bailable offences.

Currently, the Criminal Procedure Code Cap 88 restricts the admissibility of forensic evidence to analysts trained in chemical or bacterial disciplines.

Chief Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa said the restriction is a challenge as there is rapid advancement in forensic science.
