But this, officials say, is largely inaccurate, with thousands of cases going unreported across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gbv-a-concern\">GBV a concern<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a report by StatsSA, at least one in five women experience physical violence by a partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In acknowledging this, provincial minster for health and wellness, Mireille Wenger, says the rate at which women are killed by their intimate partners is five times the global average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGBV is an everyday part of life for too many women and girls and children in our communities,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Shamila Batohi says partnerships will enable victims of GBV in Mitchells Plain to access assistance at the site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_38596da1\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cIt serves a vast jurisdiction which includes both suburbs and informal settlements that are poverty stricken and where there are high instances of GBV with limited GBV services,\u201d she says. \u201cWe are working hard int his sector, but there is still much work to do. GBV and femicide is a scourge in South Africa.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Nel says looking at data, the majority of rape cases take place in the victim\u2019s home or a home known to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese crimes are perpetrated by someone they know, which adds to the complexity and trauma involved and underscores the importance of the excellent support provided by TCCs,\u201d says Nel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based at the Mitchells Plain District Hospital, it is the 10th in the province and the second in the provincial department of health and wellness\u2019 Klipfontein Mitchells Plain Substructure (KMPSS) and will operate on a 24-hour basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-consolidated-help\">Consolidated help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Thuthuzela Care Centre is a one-centre approach to gender-based violence \u2013 including rape, sexual assualt and domestic violence. Capacitated by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in partnership with police, departments of health and social development it also has the assistance of first reponders through organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mitchells Plain TCC is made possible by and capacitated by Nacosa, Mosaic as first responders and is also supported by the Clicks Helping Hand Trust and two local Spar branches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre offers victims an opportunity to make their statements to police, apply for protection orders, access trauma services, referrals to long-term treatments, post exposure prophylaxis, access to doctors and forensic nurses and assistance in seeking justice and prosecution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-assistance-closer-to-home\">Assistance closer to home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Heideveld TCC already having been capacitated by the Mitchells Plain District Hospital, hospital CEO Dr Evan Swart says the centre being opened at the hospital will bring respite not only to the hospital staff, but also to victims who can access the full basket of services needed in one place. \u201cThe TCC was always envisioned as being part of the hospital. The Mitchells Plain hospital currently oversees the TCC in Heideveld so we were working together, but we always knew there was a big part missing for Mitchells Plain specfically,\u201d he told <span>TygerBurger<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nel says while travelling was a large part of the reason Mitchells Plain locals were not reporting or accessing assistance, especially at night is coupled by the additional logistical constraints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Heideveld TCC prosecutions happen at Wynberg court, where as Mitchells Plain cases go to Mitchells Plain court, Nel explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rochelle Philander, director of Safeline Child Abuse Treatement and Prevention Centre says they see many cases of children who do not report these crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_8a101c05\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cThis need is long over due. Looking at the referels to Safeline and we look at the time that has lapsed from the victim experiencing the trauma to then reporting it, so many of our children and parents don\u2019t want to go through the process of reporting for many reasons,\u201d <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>she told <span><em>TygerBurger<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe TCCs create a safe haven and safety net for children when they need to disclose. This is the best thing that could have happened to Mitchells Plain. We have had many cases of children who come after a very long time that something has happened but they don\u2019t want to report it. Here we can come and empower parents and the community that there is a place they can go to able to service them in a dignified way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caroline Peters, a community worker who spoke at the event says while we should \u201chang our heads in shame\u201d for opening another TCC, it does go a long way in dealing with the high instances of GBV in a positive and impactful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandy Schuter, Community Policing Forum chair of Strandfontein has walked a long journey in having seen the centre realised. She hopes the centre will be a \u201csymbol of hope, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to creating a safer, more just community for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour dedication to providing comprehensive support services to survivors of sexual and domestic violence in these communities is truly inspiring. We wish you continued success in your mission to heal, empower, and uplift victims of violence,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mitchells Plain Thuthuzela Care
