{The District Police Unit (DPU) of Musanze, mid this week gave basic community policing skills to two women anti-crime clubs in a bid to bolster partnership and instant information sharing against crimes.}<\/p>\n
The women organized in two separate handcraft associations, mainly focus on fighting domestic and gender based violence.<\/p>\n
Inspector of Police (IP) Viateur Ntiyamira, while speaking to the members of the two clubs, enlightened them on the causes and ill-effects of gender based violence and domestic conflicts.<\/p>\n
She highlighted ignorance, male chauvinism, drunkenness and misappropriation of family property and incomes as major causes of domestic conflicts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are mostly committed by men, but to a lesser extent, women are also the source of family wrangles and men have found themselves abused by their spouses,\u201d IP Ntiyamira said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNonetheless, violence of any sort is a crime and should be fought by everyone through community discussions, identifying and being close to the affected and reporting the affected families to concerned authorities for proper response,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He commended the role these clubs play through identifying and reporting conflict-ridden families, which he said have been vital in addressing the problem in the district.<\/p>\n
Godeliva Nyirarugungu, the head of SEVOTA, one of the anti-GBV clubs, said: “We were conducting community awareness against GBV but this session has enlightened us more on the problem and effective response, which will help us to strengthen our activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Currently, there are 110 anti-crime clubs in Musanze including 60 of youth volunteers and 40 in schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
