The campaign was organised by the Cecilia Makiwane Hospital - Thuthuzela Care Centre (TCC) to raise awareness on sexual assault and to inform learners about the services available to them.
Thuthuzela Care Centres (TCCs) are one-stop facilities that have been introduced as a critical part of South Africa’s anti-rape strategy, aiming to reduce secondary victimization and to build a case ready for successful prosecution.
The Thuthuzela project is led by the NPA’s Sexual Offences and Community Affairs Unit (SOCA), in partnership with various departments and donors as a response to the urgent need for an integrated strategy for prevention, response and support for rape victims.
Since its establishment, the SOCA Unit has been working to develop best practices and policies that seek to eradicate the victimization of women and children, while improving prosecution, particularly in the areas of sexual offenses, maintenance, child justice and domestic violence.
