Media Release 25th November 2010 POPCRU supports the 11th Anniversary of the 16 Days of Activism of No abuse to Women and Child POPCRU joins the millions of citizens in South Africa in particular and the whole world in general, to celebrate progressive legislation in our country and decisive actions against any form of women and children abuse. We applaud the realization that Drugs and Alcohol are major contributors to rising family violence and the latest youth public indency and exchange of pornographically materials within our institutions of learning. We have noted that there are a sizable number of female inmates in all Correctional Centres, wherein many are incarcerated for cases of Domestic homicides. A Research has revealed that many of these acts are committed whilst under the influence of drugs and liquor, and sometimes offenders acting in self-defense. And we call upon government to accelerate a programme of social reintegration as a catalyst to enhance social cohesion. Our members are in many instances found to be a buffer zone for some incidences of family fights, violence against women and children and we would want to urge them to make necessary follow-ups on any calls that are made to all the police stations as part of our contribution to enhance realization of entrenchment of Human Rights in this country.
We also urge members to seek counseling in resolving their own problems that are sometimes caused by stress through high workload, trauma and the violent nature of tasks of combating of crime in the Criminal Justice. And we welcome the latest development within the South African Police Services to put in place action Plans to acquire services of Psychologists to ensure that all officers are advantaged to succeed in combating crime. POPCRU calls upon all its members as employed within SAPS, DCS and Traffic Department to exercise due respect on the provision of quality public services and with caution to minimize violent talk and mishandling of victims of crime. A country with high level of respect for human dignity will only be achievable through a concerted efforts and action by us all.
