President Cyril Ramaphosa launches GBVF Private Sector Response Fund, 4 Feb

President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Thursday, 04 February 2021, virtually launch a private sector-led, multi-sectoral Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) Response Fund aimed at supporting implementation of the National Strategic Plan (NSP), and the wider GBVF response in the country.

With the International Women’s Forum South Africa (IWFSA) playing a leading collaborative role in this initiative, the launch exemplifies collective and strategic leadership and partnership in the fight against this scourge.

The creation of the Private Sector GBVF Response Fund 1 is a fulfilment of a resolution of the Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Declaration which followed the 2018 GBVF Summit.

The Summit brought together government, civil society and other role players in an effort to find lasting interventions to end GBVF.

The declaration endorsed President Cyril Ramaphosa’s call to all South Africans including the private sector to respond to GBV and to allocate the resources required for a national strategy. 

The proceedings of the launch will be livestreamed on the Presidency and Government’s digital platforms.

Members of the media are invited to cover the launch as follows:
