Meet Lyness Lipenga, a community member from Traditional Authority Msamala in Balaka.
Through the Pamodzi Kuthetsa Nkhanza Programme, Lyness has been empowered to become a powerful change agent in preventing intimate partner violence and promoting safer & more equal homes.
Today, she is helping inspire her community to become champions of dignity, respect and lasting change.
Funded by the @FCDOGovUK, through @WW2PreventVAWG, PKN is empowering community members to speak out, take action and build communities free from violence.

High-level engagement! Momentum for PKN
Today, the Pamodzi Kuthetsa Nkhanza (PKN) Consortium led by WOLREC hosted the Minister of Gender, Community Development and Social Welfare, Honourable Mary Navicha, at one of its impact areas in Traditional Authority Nsamala in Balaka.
The visit reinforced the growing momentum of the PKN programme, which is delivering real impact on the ground by preventing intimate partner violence and transforming mindsets.

Pamodzi Kuthetsa Nkhanza GTC Police Facilitators orientation
We have kick-started a five-day Gender Transformative Curriculum (GTC) training in Lilongwe for police facilitators aimed at strengthening police efforts to end Intimate Partner Violence.
As part of strengthening the multi-sectoral response to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Malawi, we are conducting the Gender Transformative Curriculum (GTC) training for service providers, under the Pamodzi Kuthetsa Nkhanza Programme.
The training equips participants — including Social Welfare officers, healthcare workers, police, and the judiciary — with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to deliver more effective, survivor-centred responses to GBV and IPV.
