'women to report any acts of violent behaviour towards them and should leave if they notice any signs of abusive behaviour in their relationships.'
The South African National Civil Organisation (SANCO) Wattville branch hosted a Women’s Month celebration at OR Tambo Precinct on August 20.

Furthermore, Mvimbi added that they encouraged women to join forces to fight against GBV, women and child abuse and to play an active role in the lives of young people to alleviate drug abuse and teenage pregnancy, which are prevalent in the community.
