On International Women's Day, former MP Rosa Namises launched Women's Solidarity Namibia with scores of women from Katutura township in Windhoek. The event was heralded by a march against violence and the handing over of a petition to the then deputy speaker of parliament, who came to Katutura to receive it together with two women members of parliament. The petition called for stiffer penalties against perpetrators of violence against women and children.
