Great to see increased awareness & confidence of @ForceNampol officers following the @NIDnamibia course. Training front line officers who deal with #GBV victims & perpetrators, and who do community engagement, is essential to help tackle the issue in 🇳🇦. Proud that 🇬🇧 can assist.
Replying to @UKinNamibia

I had the pleasure of joining the @NIDnamibia for their Constitution Day Panel. Our Constitution should be a mirror reflecting the soul of our nation, our ideals and aspirations. The Constitution calls for building a more #equalNamibia, and that is what we will do! 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇦🏳️‍🌈
