Rising GBV cases worry NGOCC

THE Non-governmental Gender Organisations’ Coordinating Council (NGOCC) has bemoaned the surge of gender-based violence (GBV) amongst spouses, which has led to a number of avoidable mortalities.
 
NGOCC Board chaiperson Grace Sinkamba is concerned with recent reports of increased GBV incidents and she cited two cases where couples in Lusaka’s Mtendere compound and Chitambo district in Central Province took the lives of their partners.
 
According to the Zambia Police, a 42 year old man of Lusaka’s Mtendere compound died after he was allegedly beaten by his wife, and a councillor in Chitambo district is reported to have murdered his 32 year old wife.
 
“What has gone wrong in our society for spouses who love each other to tum into villains and begin to kill their beloved ones?” Sinkamba wondered.
 
“NGOCC condemns any form of violence, whether perpetrated by a woman, man, girl, or boy.”
 
Sinkamba called upon all stakeholders to unite and rigorously address the scourge which has negative effects on the society.
 
“As the women’s movement, we remain resolute to continue to fight the scourge. Working through the NGOCC network, (we) will intensify outreach and awareness raising activities to sensitise communities about the negative effects of this vice,” Sinkamba said.
 
She further advised families to engage in dialogue and avoid any form of violence and urged the nation through the relevant stakeholders to begin to take issues of mental health seriously by ensuring that facilities are accessible.
 
Sinkamba also called for an increase in community sensitisation levels and counselling, noting that it will help couples and families to resolve issues that may lead to violence.
 
Meanwhile, the NGOCC is saddened with the case of a 13 year old girl that allegedly killed a baby in Mtendere compound.
 
Sinkamba said the women movement had taken interest in the matter and met with the Zambia Police Service over the matter.
 
“As a women’s movement, we are cognisant of the fact that juveniles who come into conflict with the law are particularly a vulnerable group and hence need support as deemed fit,” said Sinkamba.
