He was addressing about 100 imams of mosques in Eastern Province on December 19 in Rwamagana.<\/p>\n
The Mayor put much emphasis on the role of faith based organization in fighting domestic and gender based violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cFaith Based Organisations have a strong influence of how the society behaves, that\u2019s why we encourage you to champion a positive attitude towards ensuring public safety,\u201d said Mbonyumuvunyi.<\/p>\n
On Fighting GBV, he said: \u201cEnding Gender Based Violence and Child Abuse is a responsibly for all. We all have to join efforts and means to report and prevent such violence from happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEffects of GBV can go as far as affecting the economy of the country. A victim of psychological or physical violence may not be in position to perform effectively or even contribute to the economy of the country. This could as well be the same case to a child who is abused and tortured,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
