Women lawyers speak on 16 Days of Activism

The campaign is between November 25, International Day against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day. In Botswana the campaign is supported by government, NGO's and society in general. However, women lawyers have to date not made their voices heard by speaking out against the scourge of violence against women and children. We have decided to be part of the campaign this year.

As women lawyers we fully support the campaign and would like to take actions to support the 16 Days of Activism for no violence against women and children. We want to be part of the campaign to create awareness of the negative impact of violence on women and children. We want to take this opportunity to speak out against abuse of women and children.
