ACDP: More facilities are needed for abused woman and children

Lusanda Bill

The African Christian Democratic Party today said it remains concerned about shortage of facilities for abused woman and children in South Africa. 

This as Monday marked the start of the 16 Days of Activism of No Violence against Women and Children. 

ACDP MP Cheryllyn Dudley has called on government to help create awareness where resources are available. 

Dudley said the ACDP is convinced that in order to stop the cycle of abuse and bring about change we need to strengthen and extend the reach of organisations that are making a difference. This must be done especially in areas where people are able to train community leaders, church leaders and people who are in contact with people on the ground.

“Another major concern that we have as the ACDP is that real respect for human rights is not actually possible without respect for human life” Dudley added.
