KACODO director Linda Kabanda has said that violence that are increasing in the area are especially during the rainy season, and these are hiring children to work in farms, family conflicts, and fathers running away from farm work and selling all the produce after farming is over.

Speaking today at the commemoration of 16 days against violence, Kabanda said that the organization is in collaboration with Action Aid Malawi and they will be reaching out to chiefs and concerned groups to ensure that violence of any kind does not occur in the communities.

Senior chief Mchilumba of the area has thanked the organization, saying that they will help reduce the violence that has increased in the area of chief Dambe in the district.
