Civil Society Organizations Welcome Domestic Violence Bill

We would like to commend Parliament for passing the said Bill and in particular the Member of Parliament, Gladys Kokorwe for her tireless efforts in advancing this important matter.

The Domestic Violence legislation will be an important step for protecting the rights of those most vulnerable and signals Botswana's commitment to up-holding human rights obligations. By establishing this legislation, Botswana will be aligning herself with many other countries in the region such as Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mauritius and South Africa.
