Boys challenged to be change agents

Deputy commissioner Dinah Marathe made the call during a youth dialogue that was held in Gaborone recently at Boipuso Hall. The youth dialogue that was conducted against the increasing reports of GBV targeted male students from St Joseph College, Naledi, Ledumang, Molefhe and Gaborone Senior Secondary schools.

Marathe challenged the boy-child to introspect and become positive influencers to their peers with the ultimate intention of maturing into responsible law abiding adults. The police boss said it is mostly men that perpetrated GBV on women and children with an estimated one in three women experiencing physical or sexual abuse in their lifetime.
