South Africa's Fight Against Femicide: Ramaphosa's Plan

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for urgent audits on unsafe areas, unsolved murders, and forensic backlogs as the first steps in a plan to tackle violence against women and children. The initiative comes amid growing public outrage over high rates of femicide and gender-based violence in the country. Ramaphosa's plan aims to address systemic failures in the criminal justice system and improve support for victims. The audits will identify gaps in policing, prosecution, and forensic services that often allow perpetrators to escape justice. The president has emphasized the need for a coordinated response involving government, civil society, and communities. However, critics argue that without adequate funding and implementation, these measures may fall short. This video examines the government's efforts to combat femicide and the challenges ahead.
