SA protesters demand funding to help eradicate gender violence

In a protest action organised by Avaaz.org and Sonke Gender Justice Network, gender equality activists from across Cape Town will gather outside the Houses of Parliament to call on the South African Government to commit to one billion rand a year to fund effective strategies to prevent violence against women, including a grassroots public education campaign to end the cycle of violence against women. Over 130 activists from gender equality organisations will gather outside the Parliamentary buildings to hang up women's clothing which carry the message saying President Zuma: Your Budget Can Stop Rape.
