If you remove that from the population who is left, nothing absolutely so it is a big ministry and we have a big task ahead of us, so we should be given budget that can take care of our work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to her, her ministry is working so hard in the area of  sensitizations especially  during this 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence  and also the sensitization has  been going on all levels starting from the policy makers, religious leaders, community members, and security officers  and there has been huge  impact.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed out that change is difficult and when making a change considering a social norm which is different from   culture and society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is physical violence that leads to sexual harassment but what is clear is that, we have to make sure that we sensitize people and let them know this is harmful so they can stop. If not, these harassments are going to continue and that is not good for the health and welfare of women and children\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n<p>However, she said before the police officers don\u2019t take GBV cases seriously because they consider it as a matter outside police intervention but now they have seen more and more cases reported to the police.<\/p>\n<p>She also said despite the report there is still low prosecution because people withdraw the cases from the police, stressing that the fact that they are reporting, \u201cit means we are making a great achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
