We must recognise the inherent right of all to a life of dignity, freedom and respect. Indeed, we all have a role to play in ending violence against women and girls. Governments have an even greater role in protecting more than 50 per cent of its citizens who face the threat of violence on a daily basis. Let this be the legacy we leave behind, by honouring the lives and dreams of those no longer with us, the likes of Anita Osebe and Hanna and the countless others whose names we may not know, whose stories were never told, or ever heard. We must, collectively, end violence against women and girls – now! Dinah Musindarwezo is the Executive Director of FEMNET, a pan-African, feminist organisation working to advance the rights of women girls since inception in 1988.
