In 2006 the Malawian Parliament passed the 'Prevention of Domestic
Violence Act', providing a tool for the legal system to address a
part of Gender Based Violence. Researchers at the Alan Guttmacher
Institute reported in 2006 that 25% of female Malawian adolescents
included in the research sample had experienced forced sex. Most of
the participants stated that their boyfriends, strangers or a
teacher had forced them. Although reliable data on the incidence of
Gender Based Violence is scarce, there is an increasing body of
knowledge indicating that it is widespread and common. Story
Workshop, supported by the Dutch organization Cortaid initiated the
Kamanga Zula programme to fight Gender-Based Violence. At the heart
of the project is two weekly radio programmes: a serial drama and a
panel discussion covering all aspects of Gender Based Violence. A
media analysis was carried out and workshops were organized for
student journalists, both from the Polytechnic and the Malawi
Institute of Journalism. The articles in this publication were
written by the participants of those workshops for a media contest,
organized as a component of the Kamanga Zula project.
