The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace\u00a0(CCJP)\u00a0under Karonga Diocese through the\u00a0Timazge Nkhaza\u00a0Project\u00a0has\u00a0urged community\u00a0members of Karonga district to report gender-based violence issues through the suggestion boxes that have been placed at various institutions in the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Vincent Bwinga the project coordinator, he\u00a0said\u00a0that a lot of people fail to report directly to the authorities when they encounter gender-based violence in their communities as they are afraid of risking their lives, as such the organization has\u00a0distributed suggestion boxes so that people should express their issues without any hindrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe saw that many people in various communities are at\u00a0risk and sometimes discriminated when they have reported issues of violence to the authorities as such, we believe that through these suggestion boxes\u00a0a lot of them will report the abuse they face hence on\u00a0the other hand we are trying to reduce cases of gender-based violence in the district,\u201d Bwinga said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bwinga said the suggestion box will also help them to come up with a proper solution in implementing their project as they will be able to identify gender-based issues that are affecting people in the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the matter the zone coordinator at Chisi area Geoffery Kawonga commended CCJP for the development saying that it will help a lot of people in the area to report cases of Gender Based Violence as they will be able to express themselves without being known to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very thankful for the development in our area as it will help minor groups to report when they encounter gender-based violence without the fear of being known and discriminated and we will urge community leaders, religious leaders, representatives from mother groups, community policing units, teachers\u00a0and\u00a0male champions to raise awareness about the use of these suggestion boxes\u201d, Kawonga said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
