Quotes

  • We are angered by the arrogance of perpetrators who decide to destroy the lives of women within the month when we make a clarion call to gender equality and women’s rights as human rights
  • We condemn in the strongest terms, any form of gender based violence against women, children and members of the LGBTQI community. And I would like to invite this August House to be united in fighting the scourge of GBV & Femicide in condemning this atrocity. We don’t have a luxury of divisive or party politics, it cannot be business as usual, and we have to stand together. We cannot perspective on our power and authority as leaders of society
  • Our vision is to realize the South Africa we want, a country where all people, particularly women, children, and gender non-conforming persons are and feel safe, enjoy healthy lives, relationships and social connections, have access to humanizing quality services, and are fully able to realize and exercise their right to autonomy, and bodily integrity, and equality
  • As we gather here, we are presented with an opportunity to engage and challenge the patriarchal standards that continue to cripple our society. Each and everyone of us will be asked “What did you do”?
  • Going forward in future there should be clear focal points not only in big cities but also in townships and rural communities, led by tribal authorities. In the spirit of the 6th administration, we have to work in an integrated and coordinated manner across all departments
  • We need to look at the schedule of crimes that cannot get bail conditions, this must be done in consultation with colleagues from the Justice cluster. The sentencing should be revisited. We have to revise the turnaround time of these case, from the investigation to prosecution of perpetrators, because cases delayed lead to justice denied
