Still speaking at Katima Mulilo, Gender Equality and Child Welfare (MGECW) Minister Emma Kantema said that although technology is a powerful tool for empowerment, it has become a new frontier for violence that manifests in various forms.

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare recently launched a Child-Friendly Material based on the Child Care and Protection Act.

The initiative aims to empower children with a clear understanding of their rights and the mechanisms available to safeguard them.

Officials from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare and organisations dealing with gender-based violence in the Zambezi Region agree that a lack of infrastructure, equipment, and human resources are some challenges that need immediate attention.
