Recommendation
[CEDAW and the Committee against Torture] recommended that South Africa ensure that all cases of domestic violence and femicide were investigated and prosecuted, perpetrators were punished and victims could access remedies, and that it provide mandatory training on investigating and prosecuting gender-based and domestic violence to all law enforcement and justice officials. CEDAW recommended establishing the National Council on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide, and ensuring adequate resources for the National Strategic Plan. The Committee against Torture recommended enhancing efforts to combat gender-based and domestic violence engendered by State agents, and implementing the six-point plan on gender-based violence, sexual offences and victim support. The United Nations country team recommended prioritizing rollout of the National Strategic Plan. [Para 55]
