NGOCC calls for the arrest of Petauke man who abused unconscious woman

The Zambia Police has been called upon to immediately arrest the man who allegedly sexually abused an unconscious woman and filmed the ordeal in Petauke District of Eastern Province.

The Non-Governmental Organizations’ Coordinating Council (NGOCC) is disgusted by the conduct of the man who exposed the nakedness of the woman after allegedly raping her.

Ms. Siwale has told Q-News in a statement that her organization thinks that the conduct of the said man is the worst form of indignity against a fellow human being.

She states that this incident yet again epitomizes the entrenched patriarchy and the structural challenges that women face every day in Zambia.

Ms. Siwale notes that this is however a clear indication that  moral decay is at its worst in the Zambian society as evidenced by the sad incident in Petauke.

She has disclosed that the NGOCC has since instructed its members in Petauke to help the police to identify the woman in question so that she can help the police with investigations.
