It is imperative that all stakeholders; government, civil society, communities, and individuals join forces to combat this issue and protect the rights and safety of women and girls.

Recent statistics from the Botswana Police Service reveal a deeply troubling trend, with 60 rape cases recorded during the festive period. This surge in violence against women underscores the urgent need for a more comprehensive and effective response.
