Sarah Ndini. No family should ever have to endure such a loss. We stand in

partners and reaffirm our commitment to fighting for justice and the protection
of all women in our society.

government, law enforcement, community leaders, and civil society, to unite
against gender-based violence. We must not only condemn these acts but actively
work towards creating a society where women live free from fear.
