ANCWL to host National Day of Prayer for GBVF victims
The ANCWL is expected to hold National Day of Prayer in honour of GBVF victims in Ekurhuleni
The African National Congress Women's League (ANCWL) is set to organize a National Day of Prayer and memorial for Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) victims in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng East-Rand. This event is scheduled to take place at the Alberton Civic Centre on Sunday. Over the past two months, twelve bodies of murdered women have been discovered in the area since July.
President Cyril Ramaphosa recently announced a four-point plan to address the high levels of GBVF in the country. Acting Police Minister Feroz Cachalia and Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi have been tasked with initiating a national case-recovery operation focusing on unresolved murders, attempted murders, rapes, and serious sexual offences involving women and children.
Faith-based organizations and various ANC leagues are anticipated to participate in this morning's event.
