Bronkhorstspruit SAPS bring GBV awareness to the community
Victims of gender-based violence are encouraged to report abuse and seek help through the various support structures in place.
A GBV Awareness Campaign was held at the Sokhulumi Multi-Purpose Center in Kwa-Sokhulumi, Bronkhorstspruit, on August 22. The office of Social Crime Prevention, in commemoration of Women’s Month, conducted the campaign.
“The gender-based violence awareness was aimed at educating communities, supporting victims, and reinforcing the commitment to ending violence against women and children,” said Constable Cathrine Ramovha, the corporate communication officer at the Bronkhorstspruit Police.
The campaign forms part of ongoing efforts to address the scourge of GBV that continues to affect countless lives across the country.
“Through community engagements, school visits, and door-to-door awareness initiatives, our officers are working closely with local stakeholders, non-governmental organisations, and social services to ensure that the message that GBV will not be tolerated is made clear.”
“Women’s Month is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by generations of women and to reaffirm our collective responsibility in protecting the rights and dignity of every individual,” Ramovha added.
The police service stands united in this cause and calls on all members of society to join them in speaking out, standing up, and supporting survivors.
Victims of gender-based violence are encouraged to report abuse and seek help through the various support structures in place.
“We remain committed to providing a professional, compassionate, and effective response to all reports of GBV. Together, we can build a safer and more equal society for all,” Ramovha concluded.
