The report indicated that from April to June 2022, about 855 women and 243 children were killed in South Africa.A GBV survivor who works at the Durban Central police station, Carol Mkhize, says she was almost raped at work.She says the man dragged her into a corner and forced her onto the floor. “The victimisation of our women, we know how much it devastates our community and our economy at large. So we not only respond to these calls in terms of abuse but we call for inclusiveness. We need men to be included in these programs. I think it’s time to take our time to address these issues from the family segment up to the whole society. This is not bigger than us, we need to kill it from today.

Mlambo-Ngcuka says in most cases people do not report GBV because of the treatment they receive from the community.
