16 Days of Activism for no violence against women and children

 As we continue to commemorate the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children campaign from 25 November – 10 December. Please take the time to read below, you might save someone’s life.

 

Abusive Behaviour is:

• When a person slaps, punches, kicks, shoves, scratches, bites or throws things at their partner.
• When a person locks their partner in or out of the house or abandons them in a dangerous place.
• When a person refuses to help their partner when they are injured, sick or pregnant.
• When a person insults their partner, ridicules their beliefs, makes them feel worthless, humiliates them, makes false accusations or isolates them from friends and family.
• When a person threatens to kill their partner, or themselves

 

Signs That Someone May Be Experiencing Abuse:

• Their partner sends harassing messages or calls constantly when they are apart. 
• They seem afraid or anxious around their partner.
• Their partner limits their access to finances or financial decision making.
• They stop taking care of their own emotional and physical needs.

 

The risk assessment tool below will help you or someone you know identify the potential risk faced by remaining in contact with the abuser. If you are a victim of domestic violence, please answer honestly by checking the boxes that apply to you:

 

1. Your abuser has threatened to kill/harm you or your family.
2. Your abuser has threatened or physically assaulted you or your family, or arranged for someone else to do so, with any weapon or dangerous object (e.g. knife, pot, firearm, etc.)
3. Your abuser has harmed or killed a family pet or threatened to do so.
4. You are afraid that your abuser could harm your unborn child or children who live with you.
5. Your abuser has been convicted of the violation of a protection order.
6. Your abuser constantly insults, humiliates, degrades or blames you for all his/her problems to cause you emotional pain.
7. Your abuser has constantly stalked or harassed you in person, on social media, or via text or email or arranged for someone else to stalk you/monitor your movement.
8. Your abuser has damaged your property e.g. deflating your tyres or breaking your windows or doors etc.
9. Your abuser controls your access to your money, takes your money without your permission or refuses to allow you to work or earn an income.
10. Your partner has access to a firearm or dangerous weapons.
11. You think your abuser has a problem with substance abuse such as alcohol or drugs or prescription drugs which has or may potentially lead to his or her violent behaviour.
12. Your partner is jealous towards you, displays possessive behaviour or is controlling of you.
13. Your partner on bail or parole, has served a time of imprisonment or has recently been released from custody in relation to an offence involving violence.
14. The violence or controlling behaviour is becoming worse.

 

If you checked any of these boxes, you are at risk of further domestic violence, domestic homicide or death and we encourage you to seek help.

November is Movember

 

This November we raise awareness of Movember 2021.

What is Movember?

Movember raises awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, as well as mental health and suicide prevention.

Every November, men across the world grow their best moustache in support of this life-saving foundation.

 

There are so many reasons to care about Movember. Here are the ones that stand out:

 Movember takes on mental health stigma

Movember tackles male mental health stigma head on, shifting the perspective that "emotional men are weak" through a number of mental health awareness campaigns.

Societal genders roles dictate that when men express emotion, they are not "real men". This stigma can cause men to suppress their emotions in order to present as "manly" and "strong".

About 75% of UK deaths from suicide are men, and suicide is the most common cause of death in men under 50.

Studies show that men are less likely than women to seek help from friends or medical professionals for mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).

These statistics demonstrate the need for mental health support for men everywhere.

 

Movember helps detect prostate cancer early

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men worldwide. Prostate cancer will affect 1 in 9 men in their lifetime.

Symptoms of prostate cancer do not normally appear until the prostate is large enough to affect the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis). This can make it difficult to detect early.

However, detecting prostate cancer early can be the difference between life and death.

Movember spreads awareness of the importance of early detection of prostate cancer through its impressive awareness campaigns, prostate cancer stories and many educational resources.

 

For enquiries or assistance please contact the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) on 0800 567 567 or visit their website for live online counselling www.sadag.org

Your office awaits you...

Good day,

 

As you are aware, South Africa was placed on Lockdown Level one (1) effective from Friday, 1 October 2021.

 

Subsequent to this, the Gauteng Department of Economic Development (GDED) has issued an advisory which addressed the return-to-work approach of the Department. The adjusted working arrangements take into consideration the service delivery obligations of the Department, the needs of service recipients and the safety of staff.

 

In keeping with this approach, the following resolutions have since been approved by GGDA Group EXCO:

• Increase in staff rotation from 30% to 75% with effect from Wednesday, 20 October 2021. Department managers will be responsible for their respective units’ rotation schedule.
• Entity CEO’s will continue to determine additional staff requirements based on the entity’s operational requirements.
• Human Resources managers at each entity shall continue to record and monitor the rotation schedules at each entity.
• Covid compliance officers at each entity shall continue to ensure that all safety measures are in place and available for the additional staff, reporting to the office for duty.

 

While Covid-19 regulations have eased, please continue to observe all health protocols – wash or sanitize your hands regularly, wear a mask at all times in public and maintain the appropriate social distancing measures in place. Staff and their families are encouraged to vaccinate against Covid-19.

 

 

Thank you,

Causal Day 2021

Today we celebrate Casual Day, an all-inclusive and equitable society where the human rights of all are upheld and protected. Casual Day is the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD)’s flagship awareness and fundraising project. Casual Day is widely celebrated in a national campaign that occurs annually in South Africa, this year on Friday 3 September. The public’s contribution of R20.00 for a Casual Day sticker entitles them to express their individual interpretation of the yearly theme through their outfits, showing their support for the full inclusion and equity of persons with disabilities. Casual Day Theme 2021 is Courage and Kindness. Inspired by Disney’s newly-announced The Ultimate Disney Princess Celebration, which champions the qualities embodied in our theme COURAGE and KINNESS, We, hereby request you to not only have the Courage to assist people in need by buying your own sticker; but to also help us open doors to the Kindness of all South Africans to participate in large numbers. Don’t forget, your R20 Casual Day sticker is your license to express yourself at work or school and now you can once again participate while socially distancing by getting your own Personalised Digital Casual Day stickers online. #CasualDay2021 #CourageAndKindness
