These killings need to stop

This is a sad era in our history as a nation. We cannot stand when such barbarism rises to take over our lives.  We are tired and seriously worried about the reports of the abuse and killing of women and children in some parts of the country.

 As women, we are especially concerned that in most cases, these attacks occur in the hands of family members or in the case of women, their intimate partners. The nation must forge a united front with the law enforcement authorities, government and all sectors of society in fighting this appalling scourge and isolate these criminals in society but within the ambit of the law.

The President reiterated that violence against women had been declared a priority crime by government. Hopefully, this will decrease the rate of violence of women.

The President has further urged victims of violence not to be intimidated and to report the perpetrators to the police to ensure that the law takes its course but how do we not feel intimidated while we hear about these killings on a daily basis. 

Victims should not turn a blind eye to violence in their intimate relationships at home, work or at school. They should immediately report perpetrators to authorities before such abuse intensifies and leads to murder.

Yes, not all men are trash but what are you doing as a man to stop this violence against women? That power is in your hands.
