Gender-Based Violence is not just a statistic. It's a constitutional crisis 🟣
In the 2025/26 financial year alone, 50,511 cases of Gender-Based Violence and Femicide were reported to SAPS — with r**e accounting for 36,217 of those cases. Only 30,736 resulted in arrests or referral for prosecution.
Behind these numbers are mothers, daughters, sisters and colleagues. According to the HSRC National Prevalence Study, at least 7.3 million South African women have experienced physical violence in their lifetime.
At Nathan Cheiman Attorneys , we believe protecting women is not charity — it is a constitutional imperative. Every woman has the right to safety, dignity, and equal protection of the law.
We stand with survivors. We fight for justice. We do not look away.
If you or someone you know needs legal protection, our doors are open.
