Here are the answers to questions 4 and 5:

4. Do you believe the local police & justice system are doing enough to protect survivors? Explain your view. While efforts are being made, many believe the local police and justice system face challenges in adequately protecting survivors of GBV. This is often due to issues such as slow response times, a perceived lack of sensitivity from some officials, insufficient resources for thorough investigations, and low conviction rates, which can discourage survivors from reporting incidents or pursuing justice.

5. Which specific organization or government department would you refer a victim to for immediate help? I would refer a victim to the South African Police Service (SAPS) for immediate reporting of the incident and protection. Additionally, the Department of Social Development can provide crucial social support services, counseling, and referrals to shelters or other necessary resources.
