United Nations Resident Coordinator, Janet Rogan has commended Chiefs in Luapula Province for their efforts in the fight against Gender Based Violence (GBV).

Ms. Rogan Gender Based Violence is deep-rooted in some cultural practices hence the need for traditional leaders to take a leading role to combat the negative practices that contribute to the vice.

She was speaking during the 2018 Luapula Chiefdoms’ global entrepreneurship week celebrations and cultural gala dinner in Mansa.

Ms Rogan observed that traditional leaders being custodians of culture have the responsibility to help curb the vice.

And speaking at the same event, Luapula Province Chiefs Council Vice Chairperson, Chief Nsamba of the Uunga people of Lunga District pledged their commitment in the fight against Gender Based Violence.

Chief Nsamba noted that GBV has impacted negatively on the gains and development of society and the nation as a whole.

He has since assured government of Chiefs’ commitment towards ensuring that the battle against Gender Based Violence is won.

  3. No comment since my comments hurt the very nice, hard working, democratic, honest, transparent, genuine, good, powerful, and very appreciated government that serves its poor people with kindness. PF should not be voted back in power again I will be setting up an online forum to make sure Lungu is ousted from power.
