MZUZU-(MaraviPost)-Malawi is currently observing the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a period dedicated to raising awareness and promoting action to end violence against women and girls.
Second Vice President Enock Kanzingeni Chihana has joined President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and First Lady Madame Gertrude Mutharika in recognizing the significance of this campaign.
In a public statement, Chihana described violence against women and girls as a global human rights emergency that demands immediate attention.
He emphasized that this year’s campaign theme highlights one of the fastest-growing forms of abuse: digital violence against women and girls.
The Second Vice President urged the nation to prioritize digital safety as a key component of gender equality and the advancement of human rights.
Chihana called for collective action to create a safe and equitable society where everyone can thrive regardless of gender.
He encouraged the public to report cases of gender-based violence and to provide support for survivors.
“Together, we can make a difference,” he concluded, emphasizing that ending gender-based violence requires participation from all sectors of society.
The 16 Days of Activism campaign in Malawi is part of a global initiative aimed at ending gender-based violence and promoting the rights and safety of women and girls.
Chihana’s remarks serve as a reminder that both online and offline spaces must be made safe to ensure the full protection of women and girls’ human rights.

WASHINGTON DC-(MaraviPost)-During the traditional Thanksgiving turkey pardon ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump targeted his political opponents.
Trump’s remarks took aim at several prominent Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Joe Biden, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
The former president used the occasion to criticize their policies and leadership in a series of pointed comments.
Observers noted that Trump’s attacks were unusually direct and combative for a ceremonial event that is typically light-hearted and symbolic.
The turkey pardon, a longstanding White House tradition, involves sparing one or more turkeys from being slaughtered for Thanksgiving.
Despite the festive setting, Trump’s speech turned political, highlighting the ongoing tension between him and the Democratic Party.
Political analysts suggest that such remarks are likely intended to energize his base ahead of upcoming election cycles.
Democratic leaders have not yet formally responded to the former president’s comments from the ceremony.
The event drew media attention both for the traditional turkey pardon and for the unusually aggressive political rhetoric.
Trump’s appearance underscores his continued prominence in American political discourse and his readiness to publicly challenge Democratic figures.
The White House ceremony, typically a light-hearted celebration, was overshadowed by partisan attacks and pointed commentary.
As the holiday season continues, political observers anticipate that Trump’s rhetoric may influence public debate and media coverage in the weeks to come.

Malawian President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika
LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-President Arthur Peter Mutharika has called on the nation to rally together under this year’s powerful theme, “Unite to End Gender Based Violence in Malawi.”
He issued the appeal as Malawi joins the international community in commemorating the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

She noted that these 16 days offer an important opportunity for communities, institutions, and leaders to strengthen advocacy and amplify the voices of survivors.
She stressed that every Malawian—regardless of age or position—has a responsibility to support the fight against gender-based violence.
She reminded the nation that true progress can only be achieved when women live free from fear, intimidation, and harm.
She reaffirmed her belief that “A safe woman is a strong nation,” a statement that reflects the broader national vision of safety, dignity, and empowerment.
She urged citizens to speak out against abuse, challenge harmful norms, and take meaningful steps toward protecting the rights and wellbeing of women and girls.
She encouraged Malawians to work together to build communities where victims are heard, perpetrators are held accountable, and prevention becomes a shared national value.

The moment the cold weather arrived, I did a deep dive into celebrity outfit archives for some much-needed boot inspo. Naturally, I came across a photo of Jennifer Aniston wearing the perfect pair of Uggs. Amazingly, her exact pair is still available on Amazon, waiting to be added to cart.
Yes, you read that right — Aniston’s UGG Women’s Classic Short II Boot is still in stock in every size, which is nothing short of a pre-Christmas miracle! Back in 2008, the Friends actress paired hers with joggers and a North Face jacket, nailing that effortless, off-duty vibe I all want to recreate all winter. The best part is that I know this classic silhouette will never be ‘out’ — even with so many Ugg options, this version always comes back in style.
Get the UGG Women’s Classic Short II Boot at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.
Aniston may have put these boots on my radar, but the cozy-chic design quickly won me over thanks to their smooth suede exterior and flattering mid-calf height. Inside, the plush sheepskin lining delivers serious warmth even when temps dip below freezing. And with a waterproof finish and traction-packed sole, they’re built to handle snow, slush and icy sidewalks.
Clearly, Aniston and I aren’t the only fans — shoppers love these Ugg boots just as much. With more than 1,600 five-star ratings, reviewers rave about the sheepskin interior, describing it as “warm and fluffy.” One shopper even said they can “spend hours outside” and their feet stay warm on “the coldest days.”
What draws me in most is how easily these boots fit into my everyday winter routine. They’re warm enough for freezing mornings yet still relaxed enough to keep me comfortable inside. On travel days, I’d pair them with leggings, then rock them with joggers while running errands and straight-leg jeans for casual coffee runs.
After seeing Aniston in these classic boots, it makes total sense why the style remains a winter staple. They offer the ideal mix of warmth and wearability, perfect for cold-weather dressing. And while they’re $190, shoppers say they’re “worth it” because they last “for years.”
In other words, they’ll still be there for you two decades from now. Sold!
