NUMSA alarmed over rising tide of GBV

First Take SA

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) has raised alarm over the rising tide of violence against women and children. As the nation observes the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a campaign aimed at eradicating violence against these vulnerable groups, shocking statistics from the South African Police Service paint a grim picture revealing that 14 women and children are murdered every day. NUMSA emphasizes that this disturbing reality underscores a profound societal crisis, urging that tackling systemic inequality is critical to ending such violence.
