Second GBV and femicide summit as violence against women and children continues unabated by Radio Islam International published on 2022-11-03T11:08:10Z Yesterday at the Gallagher Estate in Midrand, the second presidential summit on gender-based violence and femicide got underway. Civil society organisations highlighted that the country had become one of the most violent outside a war zone due to the steady rise in gender-violence cases. In an interview with Radio Islam International, Vanita Daniels, Director of Rise Up Against Gender-Based Violence, said the president’s admission that the government has not done enough to address the pandemic of gender-based violence in South Africa is her main takeaway.
