It is high time that all the talk around gender-based violence is accompanied with stern action, ANC Women’s League president Bathabile Dlamini said.

Pretoria -

The meeting also sought to unpack what could be done to ensure the scourge was effectively dealt with. “We don’t want promises and talks on how they are going to respond to our challenges and throw programmes in our faces that are not budgeted for, programmes that are not institutionalised, because what we are experiencing now is linked to structural and systematic patriarchy in major institutions.

Gender desks in various departments, provinces and municipalities should not only “wake up” when a woman had been killed or raped, or during the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children Campaign, women had to be safe 365 days of the year, she said.
