Zomba District Council Gender Officer Ruperth Kamtsendero said that teaming up with cops and NGOs is helping reduce violence against women and girls. The remarks came at Naisi Ground in Senior Chief Malemia's area during a closing event for the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, and the theme centered on stopping social media misuse in Zomba. Kamtsendero stressed that tackling abuse needs multiple departments working together since victims end up dealing with police, healthcare workers, social welfare staff, and different organizations.
Both Kamtsendero and Vice Chairperson Esther Mbalame warned people against sharing explicit photos through digital platforms, calling it a serious crime. Mbalame promised to set up youth clubs for discussions about life improvement, while MP Grace Kwelepeta thanked the council for organizing the campaign and urged girls not to let partners pressure them into sending nude images.
