In line with the undertaking we made last year, we launched the National Council Against Gender-based Violence under the leadership of Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe on 10 December 2012. The council has finalised its annual action plan and will be engaging with communities through awareness-raising programmes and educational campaigns across the country. This will include road shows, consultations and summits, and driving the 365 Day National Action Plan to End Gender Violence.
