Humana Child Aid Selibe Phikwe last week organised an Empowerment Day in Mapataka Settlement, outside Selibe Phikwe, aimed at raising awareness and strengthening community action against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) under the theme, “From Awareness to Action: Ending GBV in Our Lifetime.”

The event brought together community members, local leaders, service providers and stakeholders to discuss the different forms of GBV and its impact on individuals, families and the wider community. Discussions focused on key issues including the effects of GBV on communities, recognising the signs of abuse, its consequences, prevention, and the importance of reporting GBV cases.
Speaking at the event, the Guest Speaker and Executive Director of EMISA Foundation, Marang Thibanyana, encouraged participants to report GBV cases without fear and to seek support from relevant service providers. She further emphasised the importance of protecting and caring for children, creating safe environments for them, and taking collective responsibility for preventing violence and abuse.

The event was supported by a wide range of stakeholders and service providers, including BDF Eastern Military Garrison, Selibe Phikwe Police Gender & Child Protection Unit, Botswana Prison Services, Ministry of Lands and Agriculture – Department of Crop Production, Department of Gender Affairs, Bobirwa District AIDS Coordinator, Mapataka Councillor, NAPRO, Dingwetsi Association, Tebelopele Wellness Centre, BOCHAIP, BOFABONET, Express Care Private Clinic, CEDA and Hollard Insurance.

The participation of these stakeholders provided community members with an opportunity to learn about the different services available to survivors and those at risk of GBV, while also strengthening linkages between the community and service providers.
The event was generously supported by HPP's valued partner, SCATEC, whose continued support contributes to strengthening community empowerment and protection initiatives.
From awareness to action, ending GBV requires all of us.
