Human rights actors have raised concerns over the surge in femicide cases across the country, warning that the killing of women has reached a troubling tipping point.
The human rights players further said rights defenders are increasingly being targeted through State harassment, arbitrary arrests, physical attacks and extrajudicial killings.
Speaking during the launch of the Strategic Plan for the National Coalition of Human Rights Defenders, stakeholders added that violence against women has been normalised as a response to conflict.
