Fedusa gives government ultimatum: End gender-based violence or face mass action:
Cape Town - Government needs to urgently take steps to end gender-based violence in South Africa, particularly during the Covid-19)lockdown, or face mass action, the Federation of Unions of South Africa said on Sunday.
Many of these women were not just murdered, but also suffered traumatic and torturous deaths, experiencing rape, mutilation, and terror. The fear of this horrifying fate had become a reality for every woman in South Africa. "While government is regularly committing to fight this scourge, it has still not ratified the [International Labour Organisation] convention on Ending Violence and Harassment in the World of Work C190/R206.
Fedusa said enough was enough, as this was a crisis that had gripped the nation for decades and had to be recognised and combatted as such.
