Duduza police spokesperson Sgt Harry Makana said the objective of the campaign was to raise awareness on types of violence and the services available to assist those directly or indirectly affected.
“We encouraged residents not to look away in cases of GBV and to take a stand against violence against women and children and other vulnerable groups.

“A high number of cases of GBV are reported in this area and residents are encouraged to avoid walking though the open veld,” he said.
