South Africa: 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children

press release

The African National Congress calls on all South Africans to rally behind the campaign of 16 days of activism against violence on women and children. We believe that this annual campaign which was initiated by government has managed to galvanize and mobilize South Africans to take a stand against the scourge of violence which victimized and traumatized helpless members of society.

The ANC calls on male members of society to form a critical part of this campaign to ensure that we promote responsible behavior that observes the destructive nature of violence. Our ability to eradicate this scourge will assist in healing the scars of violence and the use of to address problems. We call on ANC structures and its allies to lead in promoting non violent behavior within all our communities.
