In line with the directive of His Excellency President Jacob Zuma to make crimes against women and children a priority, the SA Police Service, SAPS, has strengthened its capacity to deal with these cases. Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences, FCS, units have been established in all 176 policing areas. Police officers have been trained to deal with these cases with the sensitivity they deserve. Forensic social workers are hired to assist child victims in particular to submit the evidence necessary to support conviction. At least 28 Thuthuzela care centres have been established in various areas in the country with a high incidence of violence against women and children. These are one-stop centres where rape victims can lodge a case with the police and receive counselling and medical care, including the prevention of HIV infection and unwanted pregnancies. The Thuthuzela approach has been commended by the United Nations Secretary General and adopted by a number of countries in Africa and other regions, such as Latin America. During this year, we will be focusing on promoting the Domestic Violence Act to empower victims of violence and communities to use this Act to prevent cases of abuse. We will be mobilising women to ensure that they do not withdraw cases of abuse, but allow the law to take its course. [Applause.]
