Deputy President Paul Mashatile of South Africa has called for urgent action and a national conversation to address the escalating crisis of gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF). He emphasizes the need for systemic change, citing alarming statistics: one in three women aged 16 and older has experienced physical violence, and one in five has faced sexual abuse.
