With gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response already a government priority, BA ISAGO University will soon introduce programmes targeted at eradicating the scourge.

BA ISAGO University president, Dr Ruramayi Tadu, announced during a recent meet and greet with the media that they will be the first institution in the country to be offer GBV programmes. Tadu said in the near future the University will be contributing knowledge in terms of the scourge.

“There are no GBV courses in Botswana, these are direct programmes which answer to the sustainable development goals (SDG),” he said. Tadu was quick to share that their experience in GBV at BA ISAGO University is very touching because last year they lost their best student in Landscape and Architecture as she was allegedly killed by her boyfriend. “President Mokgweetsi Masisi in his 2022 national address said Botswana was ranked in the top three of GBV. He was calling for partners who will play a role in ensuring that this is eradicated,” said Tadu.
