Lavumisa – The Royal Eswatini Police Service Community Safety Unit in Lavumisa has intensified its crime prevention outreach, running back-to-back engagements on gender-based violence and youth crime awareness in the area.
Following a Gender-Based Violence symposium held a week earlier, Lavumisa police joined relevant stakeholders to organise a GBV mini-campaign, where attendants received a presentation on the dual role communication plays in the context of gender-based violence.
The session explained that effective communication acts as a powerful preventative tool against GBV, while toxic or failed communication often serves as a primary catalyst. The causes of gender-based violence were also addressed during the campaign.
Earlier in the week, the Lavumisa Community Safety Unit held a separate outreach meeting with the Anti-Crime Club at OSLO High School, where pupils discussed the role they are expected to play in fighting crime in their community and the effects crime has on young people.
