Bramley police partnered with the Agisanang Domestic Abuse Prevention and Training (Adapt) to help raise awareness about gender-based violence (GBV).
Doing their part for the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children campaign officers from the station and members of the organisation went from door to door on 25 November to engage with members of the community.
According to Bramley Police Station spokesperson Captain Molefe Mogodi, going door to door created an opportunity and a platform for the community to ask any questions that they might have had.
“The questions such as, how do I know I am abused? What do I do if I am abused? How do I help an abused person and who do I call to help me stop my abusive behaviour? Pamphlets with messages which define abuse, particularly the incidents related to GBV, were distributed to them,” said Mogodi.
He added that the station’s effort does not stop there as the awareness campaign extends far beyond 10 December. “It will continue until women and children are able to lead a normal life without fear of being abused, or until such time when the abuser takes charge to protect women and children.”
At Bramley Police Station a Victim Friendly Room, where victims can access counselling, has been made available.
“Violence against women and children is never acceptable, never excusable, and never tolerable. We serve and protect with pride,” Mogodi concluded.
