Government failing to meet its targets to fight GBV and femicide â DA

THE DA wants the Minister of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities Maite Nkoana-Mashabane to account for the governmentâs slow response to the fight against gender-based violence and femicide in the country.
The call was made after the Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) issued a damning report that more that 60% of the governmentâs targets in its Emergency Response Action Plan (ERAP) to deal with gender-based violence and femicide has not been reached.
DA deputy spokesperson on women, youth and persons with disabilities Nazley Sharif said the fact that out of 81 targets, only 17 were met and 12 partially achieved, leaving 51 (63.75%) targets unmet, was shameful.
