GENDER BASED VIOLENCE - MUFULIRA.
===========================
Gender based violence is one of the daily happenings in our communities but yet it is less talked about because many women, adolescents who go through it are scared to speak out and men endure the pain to avoid shame with the how "will people see me mentality, so they die from inside.
The primary targets of gender-based violence are women and adolescent girls, they also suffer exacerbated consequences as compared with what men may endure.
GBV can be physical, sexual or psychological, It can also be in form of neglect and abandonment also economic disempowerment.
It includes, but not limited to, such acts as slapping, kicking, stabbing, shooting, hitting, verbal insults, pouring of acid or any other corrosive substance on victim and, of course, murder.
A lot go on behind closed doors but as a result of people going through it not speaking out, the physical damages on someone's body serve as a sign but worse when death is caused as there is no more coming back.
The people been abused, men, women even children etc. Need to speak out without fear or favor before permanent damages are done on them, seek guidance from people you can be comfortable with and make sure you free up your mind.
We live life everyday and ensure whatever pain because we cant speak out but bare in mind that we only die once.
