The police in Cyferskuil joined forces with the Department of Social Development, a local Non-Profit Organisation (Thusego House of Safety), Klipgat Family Violence Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) unit and the SAPS Youth Desk, to conduct a sexual offences awareness campaign at Gaseitsiwe High School, in Ngobi Village on Thursday, 26 August 2021.
Learners were educated on various types of sexual offences that women are subjected to. They were further urged not to allow anyone to touch them in a way that makes them uncomfortable.
In addition, learners were advised to report perpetrators to their parents, teachers and the police. The campaign was part of the women’s month commemorative activities conducted by the police to address the scourge of violent crimes against women.
