WATCH: Children send strong anti-GBV message
16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children, which runs annually from November 25 to December 10.
Given the scourge of gender-based violence (GBV) in the country, Bright Minds Academy in Villa Liza held a GBV awareness walk on November 29.
About 80 learners from the academy took part in the walk, which formed part of creating awareness of the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children, which runs annually from November 25 to December 10.
Holding placards with messages such as “Don’t kill my mum” and “Please love us and take care of us”, participants sent a strong message to perpetrators of violence to stop killing women and children.
