This budget again fails to acknowledge the essential role shelters play in the fight against GBV. Despite @GovernmentZA's stated commitment to improve efficiency & accountability in public spending - failed to make any explicit allocations for shelters... https://t.co/xNbIQ1Bcjc

Join today's webinar on the importance of education, self-reliance, and personal growth as tools to build confidence, resilience, and reduce teen and youth vulnerability to #GBVF. @irfaanmangera @ndlovu_anele @Sebatsane @CGE_ZA @DWYPD_ZA @The_DSD @TheSADAG

Funding Crisis #Gauteng @gpgSocDev returned R554M in unspent funds, leaving #GBVShelters without proper support. 💔 Funding gaps mean less services & safe spaces & less support for victims. @TreasuryRSA we need reform. @The_DSD @boellza @budgetjusticesa https://t.co/coVXcXM6fb

[NSMSA @NSMSA_za]

"As @NSMSA_za, we want to warn Gov & citizens that without urgent intervention, more GBV survivors could be left with nowhere to turn...[they] can't continue to neglect the safety of women and children. For this, we need real, tangible support. A VAT increase is not the answer."

[NSMSA @NSMSA_za]

READ: Facilities for abused women and children are bracing for devastating consequences if VAT is hiked by two percentage points. https://t.co/ag8WFZL8yX @CGE_ZA @GautengTreasury @TreasuryRSA @The_DSD @DWYPD_ZA #StopGBVF #SupportShelters

"At a time when the nation is grappling with relentless gender-based violence, a [2% VAT] hike is not just a financial issue but a matter of life and death." @TreasuryRSA @The_DSD @DWYPD_ZA @CGE_ZA @boellza
