Crisis In South Africa: Fatherlessness And The Rise Of Broken Men and Women
South Africa is not facing a shortage of potential. It is facing a crisis of identity. Behind the statistics on gender-based violence and femicide, crime, substance abuse, and mental health lies a deeper and less discussed issue: fatherlessness.
Fatherlessness is a quiet crisis, yet one that is shaping the trajectory of an entire generation of boys who are growing into men, girls who are becoming mothers before they become women, without guidance, identity, or emotional grounding.

Response, Economic Power, Justice, Prevention, Accountability: We must hold all sectors of society (assuming this includes the Ecclesia?) accountable for creating a safe, GBVF-free environment (and in helping fathers to be fathers and mothers to be mothers in their home and communities shaping the trajectory of an entire generation of boys and girls)
Matthew 18: 5 And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me. 6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!…

Gender-based violence is a national crisis in South Africa, with one of the world’s highest rates of violence against women and girls.

An audible alarm or public-address announcement alone may not provide effective access for everyone. Emergency systems should therefore consider visual alerts, clear visual instructions and appropriate procedures for assisting passengers who may not hear an announcement.

The WPRPD states that emergency and disaster-management information must be accessible to persons with disabilities. For persons with hearing disabilities, accessible emergency communication is therefore an important part of transport safety. Communication is not one-size-fits-all. Hearing disabilities are diverse. Not every person with a hearing disability uses South African Sign Language, and not every person communicates in the same way.

The WPRPD recognises this diversity. It identifies communication support such as lipreading, note-takers, loop systems, captioning and subtitling, including for people who acquire hearing loss later in life and may not use SASL. This is an important policy recognition of communication diversity.
