[Speech]Deputy President Paul Mashatile: Launch of 16 Days of Activism for no Violence Against Women and Children

"This period, from 25 November to 10 December, is a time for reflection, action, and solidarity. During this, we collectively raise our voices to draw attention to the persistent violence against women and children. However, a full year of action is required to combat gender-based violence and femicide, not just during these 16 days."
