Gauteng takes a stand against GBF as we approach 16 Days of Activism Campaign for no violence against women and children.

The 16 Days of Activism Campaign for no violence against women and children is an international United Nations-endorsed initiative that takes place annually from 25 November (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) and runs for 16 Days until 10 December (International Human Rights Day)

Gender-based violence and femicide is rampant in South Africa, spanning across ages, in urban and rural areas, across all communities, genders, classes and all forms of social players, and in both private and public spheres.

During the 16 Days period, Government together with civil society and the private sector will host a series of community and sector dialogues and activities to foster a collaborative effort in dealing with GBVF.
