Summary

[edit]
Description

International Development Minister Lynne Featherstone meeting with women at the ASAZA centre in Mazabuka. In her blog she wrote:

"At ASAZA clinic in Mazabuka, set up to support survivors of gender-based violence, I met several women who had summoned the courage to seek help and confront their husbands' violent and abusive behaviour. Barbara Mbewe's husband used to get drunk and beat her regularly. She went to ASAZA who offered refuge in a safe house and counselling. ASAZA also wrote to her husband to challenge his behaviour and offer him support to change. He accepted, and is now a member of the Men's Network, advocating change in his community. Other men refuse help and about half of cases go to court. This clinic, together with the bravery of women and men in the community, is bringing justice and changing attitudes."
