The home is not the safest place for women, especially in countries like Lesotho which sits with alarmingly high numbers of gender-based-violence, at eighty-six per cent. This is one of the issues coming out at the forum on Eliminating Violence against Women and Girls in Africa, underway in South Africa's mother city of Cape Town. The two-day regional meeting which started this morning is organized by the Spotlight Initiative - a European Union-funded global programme to end GBV by 2030.  For more on this issue, one of the delegates at the conference, Refiloe Harris from the Lesotho-based NGO called She-Hive Associatio, spoke to Lulu Gaboo
