<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe 16 Days of Activism campaign, which runs from 25 November to 10 December, coinciding with Human Rights Day, is an international initiative to raise awareness and promote action against gender-based violence (GBV). Alberts highlighted the urgency of addressing this crisis, noting that one in three women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence. Additionally, countless young girls fall victim to forced marriages, human trafficking, and exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want the public to demand justice and accountability, raise awareness about the root causes of violence, and support survivors and victims,\u201d Alberts emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standing together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sgt Lucille Fortune from the Goodwood police explained the importance of the campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt raises awareness so that everyone understands what gender-based violence is, how to prevent it, and the emotional trauma it causes victims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s crucial that the public knows the police are here to help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The campaign also promotes gender equality, respect, and unity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortune noted: \u201cThe launch sends two clear messages: to victims, that help is available; and to perpetrators, that their actions have consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jerry Louw, representing the spiritual crime prevention unit, echoed these sentiments. \u201cAwareness is the backbone of educating and mobilising communities to understand the seriousness of any issue. The message of the 16 Days of Activism is clear: stop the violence, break the silence. Let us pray and hope for lasting change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A call for year-round action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Col Shaun van Wyk, station commander of Goodwood police, underscored that activism against gender-based violence should extend beyond these 16 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis period puts emphasis on the issue and reminds victims that they can speak out while warning perpetrators that their actions will not be tolerated.\u201d Van Wyk expressed gratitude to all partners who joined hands with the police to combat GBV, describing it as a \u201cdeed of evil\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The march drew positive responses from the community, with passing motorists hooting and waving in support. John Ross, chair of the Goodwood Community Policing Forum, reflected on the event: \u201cThe walk garnered a lot of positive feedback, showing the power of community unity in addressing such a critical issue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
