South Africa: Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation launches a campaign for justice in gender-based violence cases
The Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation has initiated a campaign to address the backlog of gender-based violence cases in South Africa. This initiative aims to raise awareness about violence against women and children and to promote the rights of survivors. It calls for urgent action to improve the efficiency of the justice system in handling cases of gender-based violence and ensuring accountability. The campaign sheds light on systemic delays that hinder justice for victims and stresses the need for policy reforms. As South Africa continues to grapple with femicide, sexual violence and domestic abuse, the Foundation has highlighted that a whole-of-society approach will be necessary to eradicate gender-based violence.
