Residents from Kwa-Thema and surrounding areas will be educated about the importance of breaking the cycle of abuse, signs and dangers of gender based violence with a particular focus on the militarism relationship and the right to education.
The Speaker of Council, Patricia Kumalo, will facilitate a panel discussion by representatives from Sonke Gender Justice, People Opposing Women Abuse (POWA), South African Police Services and individuals representing abused women and children.
Activities of the day will also include a question and answer session and exhibitions by the various government and non-governmental organisations that deal with gender based-violence and violence against women and children.
