SA Police march against gender-based violence

More than a thousand police officers marched against gender-based violence in South Africa’s capital Pretoria on Monday after a surge in murders and sexual crimes against women.

There has been a rising outcry against sexist violence in the country over the last two months after a series of murders that shocked the public.

In a sea of blue, police officers at the Pretoria rally held up signs reading “It hurts us as police officers to pick up bodies of women, children and vulnerable groups on a daily basis”.



Acting national police commissioner Bonang Mgwenya told the gathered officers that gender-based violence was in “a dire state of emergency”.

“We need an urgent shift that will govern the impact and outcomes of our concerted progressive resolutions,” she said.

The hashtag #AmINext started trending in South Africa as more than 30 women were killed last month, among them a student from Cape Town who was raped and killed in a post office.

Police statistics released on the weekend showed that the number of crimes involving sexual offences jumped 4.6% from April 2018 to March 2019, compared with the same period the previous financial year.

S.exual offences detected as a result of police action – instead of women reporting the crime – rose 19%, the statistics said.
