## Resource

Social Development Minister Dina Pule is sounding the alarm on gender-based violence, calling for urgent, collective action before Women’s Month. She’s urging everyone—men, women, law enforcement, and social workers—to recognize and report warning signs early, stressing that silence enables tragedy. Drawing from her own experiences in women’s organizations, she frames this as a national emergency, demanding men step up as protectors and challenging the notion that harming women is acceptable. With Women’s Month spotlighting the 1956 march and women’s achievements, Pule insists the fight against violence must be year-round, aiming for a measurable drop in abuse reports as proof of progress.
