Therefore our commitment must be 365 days of relentless action and volunteerism,&#8221; she said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lukas emphasised the need to fight crime not just with slogans but with sustained strategy, rooted in local CPF structures. &#8220;Collectively we dare not fail the victims who depend on us to be their voice and to act in their best interests.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of collective responsibility resonated throughout the event. Khayelitsha sub-district GBV coordinator Funeka Soldaat spoke about the event&#8217;s purpose, while representatives from Business Against Crime Western Cape, the provincial Department of Police Oversight and Community Safety, police and various NPOs gave messages of support.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event featured powerful personal testimonies from supporters advocating for victims and survivors
