In delivering his New Year’s message, he says society has continued to focus attention on the fight against this scourge.

 

Ramaphosa says while progress has been made this year, much more remains to be done in 2025 to overcome the challenges that confront South Africans.

He says the country’s justice system has been strengthened to deal with GBVF cases.

“We have strengthened the capabilities of the criminal justice system and improved support for survivors. However, our primary focus must remain on the prevention of Gender-Based Violence against the young girls and women of our country. Working with civil society and other partners across our society, we continue to call upon men and boys to stand at the forefront of changing attitudes and behaviour. I wish you all a peaceful and prosperous New Year.”
