Opening the month of fighting against violence, the Deputy Speaker of the Chamber, Jeanne d'Arc UWIMANIMPAYE, urged the citizens to fight against domestic violence by eradicating anything that can be the source of the violence. “Do not allow your children to get married at a young age, rather send them to school,” she reminded them.
