# DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis says president Cyril Ramaphosa has been announcing emergency responses to gender-based violence and femicide since 2019, but nothing has changed. In an address to the nation last night, the president announced four measures aimed at strengthening government’s response to gender-based violence and femicide. These include an audit of cases involving women and children, and an order for municipalities to identify risks to women’s safety. Hill-Lewis says these measures must be judged by implementation, not just the empty election promises Ramaphosa has made.
