FULL IMPLEMENTATION
The Victims' Charter provides redress for victims.
The Domestic Violence Act, 1998 (Act 116 of 1998 provides sanctions against domestic violence.
Key law reforms undertaken to address gender and sexual violence:
• Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007;
• Protection from Harassment Act, 2011 (Act 17 of 2011);
• Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons Act, 2013; and
• Prohibition and Prevention of Torture Act, 2013.
The conviction rate relating to sexual offences in 2014/15 stood at 69%; and in the first quarter 71.1% conviction rate.
A number of new policy frameworks were also introduced and implemented, including the Child Justice National Policy Framework, the Restorative Justice National Policy Framework (including forming linkages with traditional justice), the Social Crime Prevention Strategy and the Diversion Accreditation Framework. Government has also adopted a Plan of Action to combat violence against women and children.
The DoJ&CD keeps national statistics of domestic violence matters through the Integrated Case Management System (ICMS). This statistics provides monthly data on all forms of abuse recorded at our courts in terms of the Domestic Violence Act. The ICMS is periodically upgraded to improve data quality.
Since 2013, sexual offences courts were re-established. In the quest to reduce secondary victimization, 55 Thuthuzela Care Centres were established. In 2011 the UN Secretary-General recognised these centres as a “world best practice model” in the field of gender violence management and response. The South African Police Services has established the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Units in order to provide victim friendly services to victims of gender based violence.
The Department of Social Development has trained victim empowerment service providers in all nine provinces. Six Khuseleka One Stop Centres which provide integrated victim empowerment services have been established. The Department established 84 shelters for abused women and 201 white doors (centres of hope) for victims of gender based violence in different provinces.
A 24 hour Gender Based Violence Command Call Centre has been established. The call centre handles 1500 calls a day and these calls are handled by 40 social workers. The centre has won a number of international awards. Our 365 Days Campaign (which grew from the initial 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children, held during November/December) has mobilized all sectors of society. This strategy is aimed at mobilizing men and boys to become part of the solution in eradicating violence against women.
FCS investigators receive specialised training in dealing with sexual offences investigations and cases involving children addition to training as investigators. SAPS has developed the Human Rights in Policing Learning Programmes and has been conducting training on same from 1998 to all law enforcement officials.
The SAPS has developed National Instructions on the Domestic Violence Act and the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act in order to provide clear policy directives for the police in support of members to improve service delivery to victims. The NPA (facilitated by SOCA), in line with Act 32 of 2007 also developed directives for prosecutors on how best to deal with sexual offences in the criminal justice system.
Capacity building and training of the SAPS members is an on-going process commencing in basic training. The SAPS engages in public awareness and education campaigns with the purpose of creating a greater awareness of the relevant legislation and government‘s commitment to eradicating violence.
Resourcing and establishing victim-friendly rooms at police service points are on-going. There are currently more than 900 Victim Friendly Facilities rendering victim support services in place and it is envisaged that this will be rolled out to all police stations.
South Africa has dedicated sexual offences courts. These dedicated services use intermediaries, audio-visual equipment and specialised training, among other measures. The NPA’s Sexual Offences and Community Affairs (SOCA) Unit developed comprehensive training manuals which are updated annually to be in line with the latest developments in law for specialist prosecutors and also an integrated training manual for stakeholders at our TCCs.
Chapter 6 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007 (Act 32 of 2007) provides for the comprehensive process regarding the National Register for Sex Offenders (NRSO). Section 50 (1) (i) of the Act provides for the persons whose names must be included in the NRSO, which will be any person that has been convicted of a sexual offence against a child or a person who is mentally disabled. The aim is to prevent registered sex offenders from working or operating at environments that will expose them to these victims and from becoming foster parents, kinship caregivers, temporary safe caregiver, adoptive parents or curators, unless they receive a clearance certificate from the NRSO.
The Police have training programmes on ensuring the respect of the human rights when conducting investigations, including the issue of sensitivity regarding cases relating to women as victims. The SAPS has a policy which was developed and put into implementation by its National Commissioner to ensure that members render a professional service to victims in respect of the investigation of offences that affect women and to assist victims in this regard. It also provides for information that must be provided to a victim in respect of available services; including HIV testing.
A National Department of Women, located in the Presidency, was established with the necessary dedicated human and financial resources to fulfil its core mandate to ensure effective implementation of initiatives related to the advancement of women and gender equality.
To give effect to the Department’s focus on accelerating women’s socio-economic development and advancement of gender equality through the implementation of gender mainstreaming across government, a refinement of accountability for gender mainstreaming and Gender Focal Points in terms of location, competencies, reporting lines and strategic role in the promotion of gender mainstreaming across the work of government is being tabled at Cabinet. This proposal seeks to reinforce the Constitutional mandate to promote and protect women’s rights, as well as the approach of the National Development Plan on advancing and empowering women. The National Planning Commission Diagnostic Report indicated that many women continue to experience discrimination, poverty, domestic violence, rape, various other forms of abuse and poor health in the country. The approach of gender mainstreaming is seen as significant in addressing the full and effective implementation of legislation, policies and programmes towards redressing these challenges faced by women. Tools that will effectively drive this approach are thus imperative in efforts towards improving the lives of women and their families, and in ensuring that women are empowered, advanced and developed for their own self-reliance. -

Type:RecommendationSession:13th session, June 2012Status:AcceptedContents:Ensure police and justice officials have appropriate training and direction to improve the investigation and prosecution of sexual violence including that based on sexual orientation or gender identity.ExplanationA Policy Framework on Combating Hate Crime, Hate Speech and Unfair Discrimination is at an advanced stage of finalisation. This is currently serving in the Top Structures of government where after it will be taken on an intensive national consultative process. Consequently these processes will inform national legislation which is expected to be promulgated within the 2013-2014 Parliamentary calendar. The development of this policy integrates international norms and standards. At the International level, South Africa has successfully piloted a resolution on Human Rights, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity at the 17th Session of the HRC calling for non-discrimination in this regard. In a seminal case law a South African judge has recently sentenced four 18 year olds to an effective jail term of 18 years for the rape of a lesbian woman.ImplementationNational Report Annex:
FULL IMPLEMENTATION
In order to improve handling of rape cases by Police the SAPS makes use of specialized investigative units called Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Units (FCS). FCS investigators receive specialised training in dealing with sexual offences investigations and cases involving children addition to training as investigators. SAPS has developed the Human Rights in Policing Learning Programmes and has been conducting training on same from 1998 to all law enforcement officials.
The SAPS has developed National Instructions on the Domestic Violence Act and the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act in order to provide clear policy directives for the police in support of members to improve service delivery to victims.

Government has also adopted a Plan of Action to combat violence against women and children.
Nationally, there are 176 established FCS units attached to all police clusters within SAPS. This has resulted in lengthy convictions, achieved through the dedicated work of detectives and prosecutors.
Resourcing and establishing victim-friendly rooms at police service points are on-going. There are currently more than 900 Victim Friendly Facilities rendering victim support services in place and it is envisaged that this will be rolled out to all police stations.

- HIV and AIDS
Type:RecommendationSession:13th session, June 2012Status:AcceptedContents:Maintain and further build upon its HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programmes.ExplanationThe government entered into a partnership on 9 August 2011, known as MDGs Acceleration Framework (MAF) to specifically focus on those MDGs presenting challenges of attainment by 2015. These include MDGs 4, 5 and 6. This partnership has already begun to show signs of positive trajectory. South Africa has submitted progress reports to the United Nations in 2005 and 2010 outlining the country's consolidated achievements towards attaining the MDGs. A National Programme involving all multi-stakeholders was initiated on 21 June 2012 in national preparation for the 3rd and last MDGs report to the UN prior to 2015.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 47) To deal with the challenges of HIV and the wide-ranging impacts of AIDS, the Government has adopted a multi-sectoral approach. During 2011, the South African National AIDS Council, in which Government, business, labour and civil society are represented, reviewed the implementation of these strategic plans and developed a comprehensive prevention, care and treatment programme for the next five-year plan (for the period 2012–2016).
Para 48) South Africa has the largest ARV therapy programme in the world, today. At the end of March 2016, there were 3 407 336 clients remaining on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Prevention is the mainstay of efforts to combat HIV and AIDS. Since the HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) campaign was introduced in 2010, over 44 million people have been tested. A total of 11,898,308 people between the ages of 15 and 49 years were tested, exceeding the annual target of 10 million for the financial year 2015/16.
National Report Annex:
PARTIAL IMPLEMENTATION
By 2010, South Africa had made significant progress in achieving universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS by those who need it. The proportion of eligible adults and children receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) leapt from 58.3% in 2010, to 75.2% in 2011 and ART coverage for HIV positive pregnant women also leapt from 87.3% to 99%. In 2013, 2.3 million South Africans were on antiretroviral treatment making it the largest programme in the world. -

- Violence against women / gender-based violence
- Sexual violence
Type:Review DocumentationSession:1st session, April 2008Status:Reference AddressedContents:The Masimanyane Women's Support Centre (MWSC) indicated that the South Africa's Anti-Rape Strategy was implemented in 2003, yet official rape statistics released from 2000-2005 indicate an overall national increase in reported rapes from 52,891 to 65,93925, and, according to Children Now (CN), around 50% of these are perpetrated against children. CSVR noted that it represents one of the highest rape statistics in the world. However, as noted by CSVR, a report by the South African Law Reform Commission (SALRC) found that in the year 2000, only 5% of adult rape cases and 9% of child rape cases reported to South African Police Services resulted in convictions. Respectively, 68% and 58% of cases reported to the police did not even make it to court. 15% and 18% of cases were withdrawn. Withdrawals included cases where the rape survivor was intimidated by the perpetrator, where the rape survivor was afraid of the possible reaction of unsupportive partners or parents; or because the police persuade the complaint to withdraw the charges where the evidence is weak. Progressive legislation does not guarantee the end to gender-based violence, but it is a step ahead. In this regard, an important piece of legislation is still languishing of the National Assembly. CSVR indicated that the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Bill was passed by the National Assembly on 22 May 2007, but the hopes of the Bill finally becoming an Act in the year 2007 are fading, as it is now been revised at a very slow pace by the National Council of Provinces (NCOP). The Bill has been in the drafting for almost 10 years, denying victims of sexual violence access to justice and full exercise of their human rights. According to HRW, rape continues to be under-reported and complaints frequently receive inadequate response by police officials. The Government has established 52 specialized sexual offenses courts (SOCs) throughout the country, which have had relative success in improving conviction rates. The Government has also established 10 Thuthuzela Care Centers (TCCs) in close proximity to these courts, where survivors of rape are able to report the crime, access specialist investigators and prosecutors, and obtain medical care and counseling.

Type:RecommendationSession:1st session, April 2008Status:Unclear ResponseContents:Ratify ICESCR.ExplanationSouth Africa appreciates and welcomes this recommendation. The Government is currently looking at the appropriate structure which can be used as an "implementing agent" to coordinate the various rights resorting under this important instrument. The Government's position is very clear that the enjoyment of civil and political rights is meaningless unless these rights are inextricably linked to economic, social and cultural rights.ImplementationNational Report Annex 1:
The Foreword to the present Report signed by the President confirms the primacy of the ratification of these Covenants by the South African government.
Undoubtedly, and by constitutional imperatives, South Africa places a premium on economic, social and cultural rights and hence the ratification of the ICESCR and its Optional Protocol is of high importance. The internal government processes are advancing and it is envisaged that with the collaboration of all government actors, including oversight parliamentary committees, the South African government should be in a position to ratify the ICESCR and its Optional Protocol as soon as possible.
UN Compilation:
Para 2) UNICEF noted that South Africa had not ratified ICESCR, although having signed it in 1994. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food recommended that the Government ratify that Convention.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 15) International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) recommended that South Africa become a party to ICESCR; OP-CAT; CED and ICRMW; and that it sign, with a view to ratification, the third Optional Protocol to CRC.
Para 16) Amnesty International (AI) the Community Law Centre (CLC) and the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) 26 recommended ratification of ICESCR and its Optional Protocol. -

- Birth registration
Type:Review DocumentationSession:27th Session May 2017Status:N/AContents:Challenges that the Government is grappling with include:
Early registration of birth: Effective civil registration requires universal early registration of birth in order to safeguard the identity and status of each South African, and the accuracy of our National Population Register. Late Registration of Birth presents risks. Since 2010, the Government has intensified its efforts to entrench Early Birth Registration (EBR) and to end late registration of birth. EBR also ensures that children are provided with access to health care, access to immunisation, and enrol in school at the right age. South Africa has made great strides in EBR in recent years. South Africa notes the observations of the CRC Committee regarding administrative and practical obstacles in obtaining birth registration, including punitive measures for late birth registration and the CRC’s recommendations regarding birth registration to ensure full conformity with the Convention. Renewed efforts will be made to address the concerns.
