The Deputy Speaker of Parliament has called upon religious leaders to spare some time during prayers to release a list of men who have been beating their women.

According to Tayebwa, most Gender- Based- Violence issues are happening in rural areas where women and girls are not empowered enough to report.

He said that what is worse is that the perpetrators of this violence are known communally, but they are not being brought to shame.

He, therefore, asked that during church service or Islam prayers in mosques, the religious leaders use the opportunity to read the names of men who beat their women, so that they are shamed.
