Gender commission calls for investigation into unjust incidents against women
It is now calling for an investigation into any unjust incidents in order to have punitive measures taken against those who are found to have erred in the process.
“As a human rights institution, the CGE cannot turn a blind eye to various videos circulating in social media platforms, wherein men, women, the elderly and children were treated in an inhumane manner for stealing. The commission does not condone any form of stealing, however, degrading people and dehumanising them does not also make it less of a crime,” according to commission chair Tamara Mathebula.
The CGE has also condemned an incident in which women were made to swim in a liquid that looked like water or alcohol spillage.
