The MEC for Gauteng Department for Community Safety, Ms Faith Mazibuko will launch the Domestic Violence Prevention Forum to raise awareness on the scourge of domestic violence and other issues on women safety.
The department will mobilize stakeholders from all sectors to join forces in efforts geared towards preventing domestic violence. A plan outlining joint efforts by the government, civil societies and other interest groups to educate the communities on the Criminal Justice System and promotion of services for victim domestic violence will also be developed.
The launch of the forum emanates from the roundtable discussion on the challenges in the functioning of the Criminal Justice System with regard to domestic violence and sexual assault held on the 07th of December
