Four days of protests in Namibia has been successful in establishing special courts to handle physical and sexual violence against women.

The announcement came from the government in response to a petition that the parliament received last week amidst the four-day protest.  

The prime minster made a statement that they “share in the repugnance of the Namibian public at the situation of SGBV and are in full agreement with the public that this situation cannot be allowed to continue”.
