The killing of women in Kempton Park and elsewhere in Ekurhuleni has once again raised serious concerns about the safety of women and the wider crisis of gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa. The SANAC Civil Society Forum is calling for thorough investigations and prosecution, but says the response cannot only come after women have already lost their lives. The Forum is also calling for safety assessments of areas where women are vulnerable, looking at everything from street lighting and public transport to police visibility, surveillance and access to emergency assistance. We're joined by the Chairperson of the SANAC Civil Society Forum and Co-Chairperson of SANAC, Mr. Solly Nduku.
