“If you have been abused or violated, come forward and report it; we are here to assist you” – YOWORI.
Young Women Rise has established a complaint desk in their office as a measure to combat gender-based violence.
Young Women Rise is focused on establishing a supportive platform that encourages the free reporting of violence and abuse cases, providing a pathway for individuals to seek assistance.
Between January and November 2023, Young Women Rise recorded 37 child maintenance cases, 10 matrimonial cases, 2 cases of psychological exploitation, 3 cases of economic exploitation, and 1 case of child economic rights infringement.
Throughout 2023, the complaint desk recorded a cumulative total of 57 cases.
Accordingly, Executive Director Milliam Chilemba has called upon individuals who have experienced abuse to come forward and report it, in order to receive the necessary and appropriate assistance.
