Regarding the recent spate of political violence, it is regretful to note that after so many efforts by Wlsa Malawi and it’s partners within civil society to enhance women’s participation in politics and promote gender equality, violence against women continues to be perpetrated. Wlsa Malawi strongly condemns these acts of violence. Everyone regardless of their gender has the freedom to support a political they so desire and to do so publicly. Furthermore, the lady who was attacked has had her husband desert her with 3 children, with no means of support all because of her political activity.
As we run up to the May 2019 Triparte Elections lets treat each other with respect regardless of gender, diverse views and political affiiliation.
Note that Wlsa Malawi remains non partisan.
