Stop Trivialising Serious Issues

There are several non-governmental organisations, which lobby against GBV, and of recent, a number of individuals have lashed out at some of these organisations, citing discrimination, specifically against men.  A recent tragedy where a young prisons officer was allegedly murdered by his girlfriend in Serowe had a lot of people talking. 

While some were showing support for the family of the young man during their time of grief, others were on another level. Some women decided to defend the suspect, making assumptions that the deceased must have done something to the suspect for her to resort to fatal violence. While many seem to mistake GBV for being violence against women and girls only, it is not!
