STREET TALK
Facing GBV Part 2 — Survivors face apathy from police in dealing with alleged perpetrators
It’s no secret that the South African justice system fails victims of gender-based violence. We hear new stories every day about perpetrators walking free or failures to follow-up on reports. Justice — where is it for gender-based violence victims?
Facing GBV – Part 2 is the second part of a 6 part series highlighting South Africa’s “second pandemic”: gender-based violence. In conjunction with the 16-days of Activism campaign, Street Talk TV strives to highlight the truths behind domestic violence and crimes against women. With special thanks to the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, the City of Cape Town’s Social Development and Early Childhood Development Department Areas East.
This film was produced by Street Talk.
