Therefore, resolving problems and misunderstandings amicably is very important. To the youth, if your partner decides to end a relationship, kindly part ways peacefully and look for someone else rather than killing each other,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p>Equally significant was his call for GBV victims to seek help, and an end to stigma towards male victims of GBV.<\/p>\n<p>The former police boss thus advised officers to handle such cases with sensitivity and professionalism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us unite in the fight against GBV, and let peace reign amongst our families, communities and the whole nation at large. We can only effectively fight GBV if we are united,\u201d stressed Ndeitunga.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics provided by Ohangwena regional commander Ottilie Kashuupulwa show that reported GBV cases in this region amounted to 621 from December 2022 to October 2023. Furthermore, 384 individuals have been arrested in the region for GBV-related offences.<\/p>\n<p>She highlighted that despite laws in place to combat GBV, the latter still poses serious threats in society, thus calling for joint efforts to end GBV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFactors such as shying away from reporting GBV cases and protecting abusers still hinder the process of combating GBV in our region. The Ohangwena region is not a haven for GBV, and every resident of this region should therefore play a part in the fight against it,\u201d Kashuupulwa proposed.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s campaign is being observed under the theme \u201cUnite!
