“As South African men, let us take responsibility for our actions… Let us declare that enough is enough. ” Progress has been made in implementing the decisions taken at last year ’s Presidential Summit on GBV, including reviewing the laws on domestic violence and sexual offences to prioritise survivors’ interests and needs. In addition, since 2013, 92 dedicated Sexual

As men, let us speak out. We must not look away. We must face GBV head-on. Let us, as families, make sure that we raise boys to respect women, to respect themselves, to value life and human dignity,” the President said. “As South African men, let us take responsibility for our actions… Let us declare that enough is enough,” he added. v
