Through you, Speaker; thank you, Deputy President, for your reply. When one looks at the responsibilities given to the National Council Against Gender-Based Violence, one is met by a glaring omission of the role of the family in the fight against gender-based violence. The Green Paper on Families: Promoting Family Life and Strengthening Families in South Africa states that, and I quote:
Government recognises that many social ills in South Africa are the result of either weak family systems or non-existent families, altogether.
Since the government has recognised that many social ills, including gender- based violence, are the results of either a weak family system or the nonexistence of families together, what are the Deputy President, the council and the government planning to do to strengthen the weak family systems that have been identified as one way of combating gender-based violence? Thank you.
