May 18, 2009:
Our Women’s Justice & Empowerment Initiative (WJEI) is one of USAID’s key tools in this effort. The U.S. Government has increased funding for this program, enabling the American people to give even more resources to help South Africa combat violence against women and children. This Indaba reflects the dedication and commitment of every one present today to work together to deal effectively with South Africa’s serious problem of sexual and gender-based violence.
Women’s Justice Empowerment Initiative (WJEI) Launch
Remarks by Dr. Carleene Dei, Mission Director; USAID Southern Africa, Cape Town.
April 2, 2009: Former CNN Bureau Chief and journalist, Charlayne Hunter-Gault, has been quoted as saying that: “South Africans have become numb to statistics” regarding such things as rape and crime. But I believe that today’s launch demonstrates unequivocally that, while this may be true for some, there are many South Africans in the public and private sector who are moving aggressively to address the issue of Violence against Women and Children.
