The Women's Network Forum is a gender desk within the South African Police
Service (SAPS), like any other gender desks within other government
departments. Since its inception in 2003, it has produced extremely good
results pertaining to resolutions around contact crimes in the country.
The SAPS women have beyond their line of duty contributed extensively
towards issues around every individual's contribution towards social
responsibilities. They work hand in hand with communities in addressing Social
Crime Prevention challenges.
One of the core objectives of the network is to:

and at all levels in the SAPS in order to ensure a fully representative
workforce.
