Started by Office of the First Lady (Namibia) 8 years, 10 months ago

Recognizing the high levels of violence in Namibia, the Office of the First Lady has embarked on a year-long campaign, namely the #BreakFree Anti-Violence campaign. As part of the campaign, a nationwide call for action has been issued through an Anti-Violence Pledge. Through this Anti-Violence campaign, the Office of the First Lady strives to work with partners to address issues such as, non-violent conflict resolution, sexual consent, problem solving and providing solutions to the high levels of violence in our society. We aim to gather a 100,000 pledge signatures. Signing the pledge gives you an opportunity to be part of building a non-violent society. We Encourage You to Pledge, Share and Inspire.

Non-Violence is not only possible, it also enhances the quality of our lives, and there are plenty of creative alternatives to violence we can all learn about.

Brilliant ideas Cde. First Lady. However, lets introduced heavy penalties/ stiffer sentences for those who are committing this kind of act. i believe it is the only way we can achieve zero gender violence in our beautiful country.
