People Serving Girls At Risk (PSGR), an abolitionist organization has called for justice to served in the brutal murder of 27-year-old Rosina Hara at Luwinga Township in Mzuzu.
Hara, a purported “sex worker” was found murdered with deep cuts to her face and private parts on May 21, 2025.
PSGR Executive Director, Caleb Ng’ombo said the brutality inflicted on Rosina represents a shocking act of gender based violence and a tragic reminder of the persistent danger faced by women and girls in Malawi, particularly women and girls who are bought in exchange for sexual acts in the sex industry.
Ng’ombo disclosed PSGR demands a thorough investigation into this case and calls for a swift, transparent, and fair judicial process to ensure justice for Rosina.
“Rosina was a human being with hopes, dreams, and rights. Her murder is not an isolated case but part of a broader pattern of violence against women and girls, especially women in prostitution, who remain among the most vulnerable and least protected in our society. This must end.
“Prostitution is an inherently violent system that is rooted in deep-seated inequality and the dehumanization of women. PSGR calls on the government to confront this form of sexual exploitation at its core by addressing the structural injustices that enable it. This means dismantling the systemic discrimination and gender inequality that normalize the subordination of women and sanction men’s entitlement to women’s bodies through commodification and sexual exploitation.
“The murder of women in prostitution is the brutal culmination of a system that treats women as disposable, ” Caleb Ng’ombo, PSGR Executive Director.
The ED said they are pushing for stronger policies and legal reforms that will lead to the abolition of prostitution in Malawi.
