As the Zambia National Association for Women with Disabilities, we are deeply saddened by the horrific incident that occurred in Mufulira town, where a woman with a psychosocial disability was brutally stripped naked and beaten, resulting in her tragic and untimely death.

The alarming silence from legal authorities and the media is concerning, particularly as our country joins the international community in celebrating International Women's Day, whose theme is 'For all Women and Girls: Rights, Equality, Empowerment.' We cannot stand idly by while one of our own is stripped of her rights and dignity.

We demand justice for the victim and her family, and we call on the authorities to take immediate action to investigate this heinous crime and hold the perpetrators accountable.
