The United Nations (UN) in Botswana has condemned the recent spate of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in the country.

This is follows the recent incident in which a woman was brutally killed and beheaded in Tlokweng, which is among numerous other incidents of rape and murder that have taken place across the country.
