Crime in Namibia

 Despite Namibia earning its tittle as one of the countries in Africa with low crime rate does not make it a crime free country. I guess it has something to do with the population of the country, with it being under populated it would obviously pop up on the list with law crime rate.

Gender base violence 

Gender base violence has been increasing at an alarming speed in Namibia to a point that a blind eye couldn't be placed on the matter anymore. For over years many women, men and children were abused in silence and they were too afraid to come out and report the matter to the authorities as a majority of Namibians believed and associated the matter with that of a taboo.

Passion killing is one of the most common type of gender base violence in Namibia as a number of men murders their partners in fear that they may be left for someone else or in mere jealousy in most cases the man ends up taking his life after killing his partner.  

Human trafficking development sometime comes with a lot of negative impact, the more Namibia is developing the wider the gap between the rich and poor is becoming, and in most cases everyone  wants to be in the upper class category, well we can say that not everyone worked or are willing to work hard to get there and end up using inhuman methods to become wealthy, like kidnaping children in exchange of cash, or sexually exploiting young girls and boys in the sex industries to make more money off them. 

In 2019 Namibia recorded a lot of missing cases with bodies of the victims mostly found with missing parts like the heart, tongue, livers, lungs, skin etc. This is because the prices for human organs on the black market is high in demand and in pays exclusively well, I guess this might explain why we made a lot of overnight millionaires during the same period of time, I mean who knows? 

From the crimes above there are also other crimes happening in Namibia like theft, sexual assault, discriminating, political corruption, we can go on and on but what's most important is that the Namibian people are not just crossing their legs watching their rights being violated. The country is working hard towards to improving it's safety and crime department and I must say I'm impressed by how much the the Namibian people have achieved in such a short period of time toward eradiating crime in the country.
