Chombo announces GBV Bill drafting :: Mmegi Online

With multitudes of cases of Gender Based Violence (GBV), the Ministry of Youth and Gender Affairs has begun the drafting process for a Gender Based Violence Bill intended to focus on prevention, protection, care, and support of victims, amongst others. This was announced by Minister Lesego Chombo yesterday through her social media pages.

The minister said the process will unfold parallel to the ongoing review of the Policy on Gender and Development, as well as the ongoing development of the National Gender Strategy, which is a deliberate document detailing specific actions to be undertaken by various sectors in mainstreaming gender.

“In pursuit of the above, the ministry consulted the Parliamentary Caucus on Women to align perspectives. This drafting process will entail comprehensive consultations with Batswana to guide the contents of this groundbreaking bill. We therefore look forward to your input,” she stated.
