Addressing the National Summit against Gender Based Violence and Femicide, he said sometimes survivors of violence have to flee their homes to other parts of the country and it becomes difficult to obtain copies of those orders without going through the whole process again. 

The Centurion summit was held in response to continued high levels of violence and femicide against women and children.

Ramaphosa also condemned victim blaming explaining that language used often places the responsibility on the victim to not be attacked, instead of placing the blame where it belongs - on the perpetrator.

The president further announced that in response to the marches that were held in August, government has responded to two specific demands that were raised. 

These demands include conducting a review of national plans to end Gender Based Violence and the development of a National Action Plan. 

This revised plan will be launched during the 16 Days of Activism campaign, commencing 25 November. 

Ramaphosa added the Thuthuzela Care Centres are an effective intervention by government and aim reducing secondary victimisation, improve conviction rates and reduce the cycle time for finalisation of cases.
