CAMPAIGN AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE SHOULD BE CONTINOUS
HON. ILLOS NYONI: Thank you Mr Speaker Sir. My contribution on the GBV issue brought by Hon. Masara, is that the Constitution of Zimbabwe, Chapter 4 is very clear on human rights including rights to security.
HON. ILLOS NYONI: Thank you Mr Speaker Sir. My contribution on the GBV issue brought by Hon. Masara, is that the Constitution of Zimbabwe, Chapter 4 is very clear on human rights including rights to security.
HON. NYONI: These rights are not only for men but for children, wives, mothers, sisters& all other women out there. We know we have our culture in Zim. Culturally at home, the man is the one who enforces discipline to the wife, children& anybody who lives in that particular home.
HON. NYONI: We know that it is done in some instances through using the whip. However, we know that culture is dynamic. It is important that bad aspects of culture be put away so that we move forward by reducing violence.
HON. NYONI: Men should lead by example, by solving issues through dialogue instead of using the whip because children who grow up witnessing violence at home end up being violent citizens.
HON. NYONI: We must lead by example because if children live in a violent environment, obviously that means they will grow up being citizens that are prone to solving their issues through violence.
HON. NYONI: Mr Speaker, the campaign against GBV being championed this particular week should be a continuous narrative that is not a one week campaign so that after we have talked and articulated issues on GBV we do not forget about it. It has to continue.Thank you Hon. Speaker.
