This pillar ensures that government departments work together to prevent gender-based violence and femicide. It answers the question: “Who is responsible?” The answer is all of us, with shared accountability from the president to each individual in the community. Key outcomes include:

– Individual leadership drives collective action.

– Communities are empowered to hold public officials accountable.

– It creates organised systems that ensure departments collaborate, with enough funding and resources to effectively respond to GBV and femicide.
