# The EFF says president Cyril Ramaphosa’s address on government’s response to gender-based violence and femicide was yet another belated intervention from a government that has known the scale of this crisis for years. He outlined a multi-disciplinary national strategy to address the growing scourge. The EFF says it’s concerning that Ramaphosa’s response is centred once again on establishing new mechanisms, conducting further audits and reviewing unresolved cases. It adds what is lacking is sustained implementation, adequate resources and political accountability.
