According to some Malawian mistakes are worse if it’s a women doing them it’s a shame… Malawian journalists are well aware misogynistic tactics to get people to read their stories , they even had ‘action girl’ which I heard had them selling newspapers like hot cakes, they shamelessly objectify womens bodies which ironically is the same thing the woman pictured above was protesting. The woman has somewhat won here since her controversial poster has attracted a lot of attention and has many people talking. Bravo to her!!!!

Those were just words men, stress the msge of demostration, why do you want to hide while you know the socierty is rotten to the core, those words are spoken everywhere in MALAWI. but because it is a woman.

Pipo do not pretend, what BEATRICE PORTRAYED IS WHAT WE ARE NOW.

Profanity is now the topic of the so-called chattering classes, not GBV. 2. When swear-words are allowed to retain their power to shock and cause great offence, they act as a safety-valve. They can be used to relieve strong feelings. In the past, if a man and a woman were involved in an increasingly heated argument and the man lost his temper and used an offensive swear-word, both he and the woman would be shocked, and… Read more »

Kudos, well put. There are some women lawyers that dont understand issues clearly. They are defending this moron that she was exercising her rights. Really? This article has just summarised everything clearly. Fighting GVB doesnt mean you should go beyond to profanity. And I also think this gender is misunderstood in Malawi – where women think its a concept that stand for them. Men are also undergoing all sorts of violence in their homes. Your placards were not inclusive at all…they were gender insensitive!! Learn what gender means and march again!!! Zotukwanazo musiye koma….
