Transforming Policing in South Africa’s Northern Cape

by Isabella Schmidt
January 9, 2025

In South Africa’s Northern Cape, a heartwarming initiative is changing how police treat victims of genderbased violence. They are creating special Victim Friendly Rooms in police stations, where survivors can feel safe and cared for. This project, led by Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola and her team, aims to build trust within the community and make victims feel supported. By using technology and compassionate approaches, police are not just enforcing laws; they are becoming a source of comfort and strength for those in need.
