Safer City joins the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence

Safer City Solutions proudly participated in the GBV Awareness initiative as part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, hosted by Kingdom Vision Ministries. As a CPF partner, we joined stakeholders in meaningful discussions focused on men and boys, accountability, and standing against gender-based violence.

The day brought community organisations, faith-based partners, victim-support practitioners and law-enforcement stakeholders into one room to talk through what real, sustained action against GBV looks like — not just during the 16 Days, but year-round.

Stakeholders in the room

What we discussed

• Men and boys — shifting the conversation upstream so prevention starts before harm
• Accountability — structured community responses that hold offenders to account
• Victim empowerment — trauma-informed support pathways through LifeLine Johannesburg's Victim Empowerment Programme
• Awareness & education — community-led campaigns that keep GBV visible beyond the 16 Days
• Collaborative action — bringing CPF structures, victim-support organisations and law-enforcement stakeholders into one coordinated response

Safer City's role

Safer City exhibited the on-demand GPS panic response and AI crime-prediction platform to attendees — the same technology that powers our CPF partnership programme across Gauteng. For survivors and at-risk community members, the panic app provides a verified, one-tap escalation channel that runs in the background and connects to a 24/7 control room.

Together with our partners, we remain committed to building safer communities through awareness, education, and collaborative action — and to giving every resident a trusted, confidential way to call for help when it matters most.
