MEC Mazibuko not doing enough to curb the scourge of gender-based violence in Gauteng
1 September 2020
The Gauteng Department of Community Safety has failed to roll out nine Green Doors meant to ensure that the victims and survivors of gender-based violence receive prompt and effective services and prevent secondary victimisation of the survivors.
This information was revealed in the department’s first quarter report for the 2020/21 financial year.
According to the first quarter report, the department had a target of rolling out nine Green Doors.
This target was not achieved, and the reasons given by the department for non-achievement is that due to lockdown, no green doors were erected because of the inaccessibility of the homes.
