The religious sector is one of the stakeholders that participated at this year’s Presidential Gender-Based Violence Summit.

It is no coincidence, therefore, that most of these faith leaders were at the forefront of fighting against forced displacement, pass laws, poverty and inequality.

The Summit was aimed at developing a social compact – a collective agreement to guide all sectors in society in building the South Africa envisaged in Vision 2030 of the National Development Plan. The social compact is expected to be finalised next year. Collaboration and joint action amongst progressive faith actors is needed to transform the faith sector and build on its life-giving shared values to become a credible stakeholder in achieving an end to GBVF in South Africa.

Research has shown that violence against women is in most instances committed by people known to them. This makes reporting difficult, but it is our duty to report all cases of rape, sexual assault or any form of violence, without fear or favour, to a local police station or call the toll- free Crime Stop number 086 00 10111 or Gender-based violence Call Centre at 0800 428 428.
