📢 *AASEV UPDATE – TRENDING GIRL CASE*
We are pleased to report that after nearly two months of searching, a combined team from Action Against Sexual Violence (AASEV) , Social Welfare , and the Chipata Level 1 GBV Section successfully located the girl and handed her over to Social Welfare.
DETAILS OF THE CASE
The girl had been allegedly defiled by her father. During our investigation, we also discovered that the father, the mother, and the girl herself all have mental health illnesses. This adds a complex layer to the case and highlights the urgent need for coordinated support for families facing multiple vulnerabilities.
GRATITUDE
We extend our sincere gratitude to:
- The community for alerting us and providing information.
- All individuals who assisted in locating the girl.
- Our partners at Social Welfare and the Chipata Level 1 GBV Section for their collaboration and support.
CALL TO ACTION
Addressing issues of sexual violence and protecting children and vulnerable members of our communities requires collective effort. Let us continue to stand united in protecting the vulnerable.
In solidarity,
David Chishimba
Executive Director
