Imagine surviving a traumatic event only to face blame, judgment or indifference when seeking help. This is the grim reality for many victims of gender-based violence and femicide .
The Gauteng Provincial Government has recognised this issue and is taking steps to combat it. Initiatives such as victim-centred care, specialised support systems and accessible shelters aim to restore dignity to survivors and prevent re-traumatisation. “This heightened focus on crime meant incorporating the creation of an e-policing network and ICT infrastructure to bolster GBVF, school safety, and visible policing efforts, amongst others,” said Lesufi.
• These centres offer medical, legal, and social support under one roof to reduce the stress of navigating multiple institutions. • Specialising in sexual violence cases, these centres offer forensic services, emotional support, and medical care to survivors while streamlining the legal process.
