Kafa sponsors a video to encourage people to report cases of violence against women

Kafa Violence and Exploitation released on its YouTube a video entitled “Driving Change”.  The video aims at encouraging people to report cases of violence against women as well as speak out loud against violence and exploitation.  The video shows women mistreated in taxi cars and unable to keep silent about the abuse.  As such, the video encourages victims of violence to speak out and report their misadventure through calling Kafa.
This initiative comes at a time when Kafa continues its advocacy regarding the revisions requested on the law to protect women and family members from violence in order to render the new law more effective through ensuring that as many women as possible benefit from it.
Kafa’s media coordinator, Maya Ammar, noted that Kafa has adopted this initiative given its effectiveness in highlighting situations of harassment through prompting people to act.  She added that this initiative is unique because it uses people’s immediate reactions which show that the culture of intervening can take primacy over indifference.
