SA Minister prioritises GBV victim support, departmental stability

Date: Jun 7, 2025

South Africa's (SA) Social Development Minister, Sisisi Tolashe, says her department has identified several priorities for the current financial year, including expanding shelter services for victims of Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

She also emphasised the importance of stabilising the department as a key focus area.

The country continues to tackle the pressing issue of GBVand Femicide (GBVF) through a multi-sectoral approach involving government, civil society, and the private sector. A mid-term review of the National Strategic Plan on GBVF is scheduled for later this year, marking a crucial step in evaluating progress and refining interventions.
