She told ZANIS in an interview today that men should heed to the call by the head of state who has called an immediate stop to the vice.
She said Ministry of Justice should also speed up the enactment of the Gender Based Violence piece of registration as suggested by President Michael Sata recently.
She said even on the day of Women International Cerebration, some women were victims of the vice to the extent of losing their precious lives at the hands of their ruthless husbands who have no remorse.
Ms Grillo reiterated that stiffer punishment should be administered to those perpetrators of Gender based violence which she said has gone out of hand in the country.
