SA Lockdown – GBV activists call for action

“We must alert the public that the law has not been suspended criminality must be dealt with as such…you have access to police services, they have not been shut down, it’s one of the essential services during this time”, said Nthabiseng Moleko from the Commission for Gender Equality.
Moleko said it is important for people to know that there are systems in place to help support people who might need help during the lockdown.
