Namibia
Some responses with participation of Civil Society
The government is attempting to bring the national legislation in line with its commitments to children in the United Nations CRC. Thus it has introduced a special course in gender sensitivity at the newly inaugurated police-training centre. Safe houses have been opened. NGOs have opened centres for counselling, places of safety, court preparations, among others. They have also trained and sensitised the police and judiciary to crimes of sexual exploitation and assault.
