Douglasdale Police Station alongside other stakeholders hosted a domestic workers forum that covered various safety topics on February 24.
Alongside the police were the gender-based violence brigades, Douglasdale Community Policing Forum, the Department of Community Safety and the South African National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence at Fairfield Estate.
Captain Mpho Tshetlhane, spokesperson for the station, said, “The purpose was to raise awareness on domestic violence, gender-based violence, common robberies, home safety, human trafficking, drugs and substance abuse.”
Almost 100 pamphlets were handed out to attendees on the day, with information on protection orders that included:
- What options are available if one is a victim of domestic violence
- What exactly a protection order is
- Who can apply for a protection order
- What to do should the perpetrator disobey the protection order.
