WOMEN ABUSE IS AGAINST CONSTITUTION
By Edwin Tshivhidzo, Pretoria
November 23, 2003 – (BuaNews - Pretoria) Correctional
Services Minister Ben Skosana says all violence against women and
children is against their Constitutional rights and tramples on
people's dignity.
The minister was speaking in support of the 16 days of Activism
for No Violence Against Women and Children during a Gala dinner
on Friday.
The 16 days of activism campaign starts on November 25 and ends
on December 10 to educate communities about the effects of violence
against women and children.
"Commitment to combat violence and related forms of abuse directed
at women and children, continues to be a priority of our government,"
said minister Skosana.
"A collective response from Non Governmental Organisations,
business, the religious community and organised labour is needed
in finding a solution," said the minister.
Deputy President Jacob Zuma is expected to speak at the official
launch of the campaign in Kimberly in the Northern Cape on Tuesday.
