Let's chat about violence

The Embassy of Finland this week donated N$75 000 to the 16 Days of Gender-based Violence campaign organised by Gender and Media Southern Africa (Gemsa).

For the first time in Namibia, gender-based violence will be discussed in an Internet chat room set up for the purpose.

Communities will be trained to use the chat room and will engage in discussions online between November 25 to December 10.
