The 16 Days of No Violence Against Women and Children campaign is being launched nationwide today. The campaign kicked off in several provinces like the Western Cape.
In Cape Town, a couple of hundred people walked in a march from the Vangate Mall to the Athlone Stadium. Premier of the Western Cape Ebrahim Rasool joined the march as did about a hundred police officers.
In the other provinces, the kick off also starts with a march. The march has to highlight the plight of women and children in South Africa.
Minister of Safety and Security Charles Nqakula is expected to address a gathering in Bloemfontein where a group of men will participate in the ‘Million men’s march’.
