This year, the Zambian Government presented the Anti-Gender Based Violence Bill to Parliament for enactment, by the Minister of Gender and Women in Development, Ms. Sarah Sayifwanda.The Minister said "once passed, the Act would provide for safe spaces for girls and women and protection orders for survivors of Gender Based Violence".
CHBC-SLA believes that these measures would enhance the legislative framework for the promotion of gender equity in education and employment. By playing a small role into the bigger problem, we can make a difference. CHBC-SLA supports women to become resilient through economic empowerment, and education.

The image below might seem dramatic, but it is true. Because of the economic challenges that most of us face in society and particularly a luck of employment opportunities in Kabwe, women and children are becoming more vulnerable to such abuse as copying strategy to relieve frustration among the men folk. This has to stop immediately!!!
