Rape & domestic violence<\/strong><\/a>
GR&AP has done extensive work on the issues of rape and domestic violence, including research reports, training materials for service providers and a range of educational materials for the general public.https:\/\/www.lac.org.na\/index.php\/projects\/gender-research-advocacy-grap\/trafficking\/
Vulnerable witnesses<\/strong><\/a>
Another issue which is particularly relevant to survivors of gender-based violence is the law which introduced special arrangements for testimony in court by vulnerable witnesses – which includes children, victims of sexual or domestic violence offences and other persons.
Publications on GBV in general<\/strong>
GR&AP has compiled recommendations on how to improve the operation of the Gender-Based Violence Investigation Units<\/a> (formerly known as Woman and Child Protection Units).
GR&AP has also produced a circular on Domestic Violence and HIV (2013),<\/a> which contains suggestions on how to respond to the linkages between domestic violence and the risk of HIV infection.
We have also published a factsheet on The Links between Corporal Punishment and Gender-Based Violence (2017).
Comics are available on Domestic violence, HIV and the cycle of violence<\/a> and The links between HIV and GBV.<\/a>
Other types of GBV<\/strong>
GR&AP has also put forward recommendations for law reform to address the problem of stalking<\/a>. We are in the process of updating these recommendations to cover harassment more generally, including online harassment. An updated report will be completed during 2019.<\/p>\r\n
