Malawis Minister of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare Patricia Kaliati, has ordered police to close Mamas Shabin beer drinking
joint in Ntcheu for commercial sex promotion amongst girls.
Press reports show Malawi young girls are selling
their bodies at Mamas Shabin operated by Rebecca
Bakuwa, at the heart of Ntcheu Township, behind
the districts post office building, popularly known as
Ku Nursery among Ntcheu residents for its
functional role of nurturing young prostitutes who
act as magnets for male customers.
Kaliati said the malpractice is against governments
efforts of promotion of human rights, child
protection and girls education among others.
As government, we have put in place legislations
which aim at ensuring that girls and women are
protected from various abuses including sexual
assault, but such malpractices counteracts the
legislations, said Kaliati during a public awareness
creation on at Kanyemba Village in the area of
Senior Chief Kwataine in Ntcheu.
Kaliati ordered the Shabin to be closed immediately
.

Minister of Gender, Kaliati: Orders Mamas Shabin to be dhut down

If police will not close , I will go myself and

shut down the Shabin, said Kaliati.

Nyasa Times also understands that there

are many shabeens in the cities of
Lilongwe and Blantyre and that some
young girls confess that they turn to dirty
old men who buy them alcohol in
exchange for sex because they cannot

get money from their cash-strapped

parents.
Shabeen owners are said to be recruiting young girls and use them to have sex with men for money.
Kaliati then advised parents and guardians to be taking care of their children and promote good cultural initiation and counselling sessions
to ensure good upbringing of their children.
She warned women against concealing information which could lead to revelation of sexual harassment.
Some girl children are sexually harassed with the knowledge of their mothers either by their biological or step fathers and some women
decided to remain silent, said Kaliati.
She said such silence does more harm than good to the girls and such girls in the process fail to enjoy their rights to education and good
health among others.

Kaliati also disclosed that government intends to introduce cash transfer programme in Ntcheu as a way of reducing the effects of poverty
in the district, adding that the programme will in one way or the other contribute to child care promotion in poverty stricken households.
Kaliati has since said government will roll out a nation-wide crackdown on sexual trafficking of young girls and sexual exploitation.

Poverty is not the only cause. Shut down all shabins from Nsanje to Chitipa.

Mayi Kaliyati, simungazikwanisetu izi ayi. Mupite mukaone ngakhale maiko otukuka zimenezi zikuchitika. Ngakhale maiko omwe
atizungulirawa zimenezi ndi mbwe mbwe mbwe. Democracy and development at its work. Just to assist you with a solution to this. Bring in
empowerment projects to the youth both boys and girls and sensitization to older women including you who are holding public positions to
dress properly, behave in a manner that children can emulate, be exemplary in all angles of life. The youth will emulate that life. Otherwise
aah! aah! youll close the shabins and more will be established and more deeper ways will come to make sure that you dont discover them.
