Other highlighted events during this period include a dialogue in Athlone, Cape Town, hosted by the Western Cape Provincial Office of the SAHRC, in collaboration with the National Prosecutions Authority (NPA), on 01 December; whilst the Commission's Mpumalanga Office will be collaborating with the CGE in conducting a workshop for women in tribal authorities on 30 November 2017.The Commission has continuously expressed its deep concern with incidents of violence against women and children and takes regular action in terms of its constitutional mandate in intervening in incidents of violence and human rights violations against this vulnerable group. Most recently, the Commission in conjunction with its sister Chapter 9 Institution &#65533; the Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) &#65533; offered their joint assistance to the Department of Education in Gauteng in dealing with the case of 87 children who were molested, sexually harassed or otherwise sexually assaulted by a 57-year-old school patroller at AB Xuma Primary School in Soweto.For a comprehensive list of events please refer to the attached programme outlining events during this period.Source: Government of South Africa"}
