Gender Justice Barometer 2005: An audit of commitments made during the 2004 South African cyber dialogues
 
Written by Janine Moolman and Susan Tolmay | 31 January 05
(7)
 
 

This audit of the commitments made during the 2004 Sixteen Days of Activism set the pace and framework for a National Action Plan to end Gender Violence that has since gathered momentum in South Africa.

The Sixteen Days of Activism On Gender Violence runs from the 25 November (International Day of No Violence Against Women) to 10 December each year. It includes: 1 December World Aids Day; 3 December International day for the disabled; 6 December Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre. Each year in South Africa this campaign has gained momentum as government and civil society join hands to expose the horror that still lurks in our newly democratic society. But what difference has the campaign made? This audit of the commitments made during the 2004 Cyber Dialogues that accompanied the campaign takes a hard look at whether we are doing enough to turn the high profile campaign into change where it really matters: the lives of women. It concludes that unless we commit ourselves to a National Action Plan to end Gender Violence, with targets, timeframes, indicators, clear roles and responsibilities, the campaign will become irrelevant.
