The education aspect of the campaign will also include the prevention of GBV,\u201d Imbuwa said.<br \/>He said the different communities need to unite in their stance against violence that often victimises children.<br \/>\u201cWhen we launched our campaign in Swakopmund we were joined in the march by the learners of four local schools. The support of the school was well received and it all forms part of getting our message spread as far as possible.\u201d<br \/>A similar action was taken by the community of Walvis Bay almost at the same time.<br \/>Members of the Tutaleni Community Policing Forum were joined by scores of people to participate in a fun walk in the streets of the Kuisebmond residential area of the harbour town over the weekend.<br \/>Warrant Officer Ileni Shapumba, commander of community policing affairs in the Erongo Region said the initiative was taken by the community and during impromptu discussions it came out that something drastic has to be done to help the victims but also the perpetrators of the incidences of domestic and gender based violence.<br \/>\u201cObviously everything possible should be done to protect and help the more vulnerable members of society but members of the community also felt that if sufficient support is given to men, who are ashamed to talk about their problems before they commit suicide or attack the people around them most of these incidents could be avoided. Men are sometimes too proud to admit that they have a problem. They keep their feelings inside because society expects them to be strong,\u201d Warrant Officer Shapumba said.<br \/>He said that after the march the members of the forum decided to seek the assistance of more knowledgeable people to set up a counselling service where everybody can discuss their problems and find help before it ends in tragedy.<br \/>Warrant Officer Shapumba said people should change the way they think about the challenges they face because the next person might just have a solution for it. He said communication, education and information holds the key to the successful fight against GBV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":280458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-280441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
