Gender-Based Violence in Botswana: Navigating the Clash of Tradition and Modernity
In this intriguing episode, Evelyn Ama Ankumah engages Tebogo Sethibe, a legal practitioner in Botswana, in a candid dialogue on the horrors and terrors of gender-based violence in the Southern Africa country. They navigate the intricate dynamics between tradition and modernity, and explore approaches and potential solutions to tackle this urgent societal challenge.
CORRECTION: In this episode, our guest stated that corporal punishment of children in Botswana is prohibited by law. That was incorrect. Corporal punishment of children in Botswana is still lawful in the home, alternative care settings, day care, schools, penal institutions, and as a sentence for crime. However cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, and ‘unreasonable’ correction of children, is prohibited. Additionally, corporal punishment as part of sentencing for crimes has not been abolished. It remains lawful and is administered according to safeguards set by the Ministry of Justice. We apologise for the error and any confusion it may have caused.
