Description

The State of Urban Safety in South Africa Report 2020/21 was launched on Thursday 9th June 2022 at the Kempton Park Civic Centre, in the City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, to an audience from local, national and provincial government, academia as well as civil society.

The report presents, analyses and assesses city-level crime trends towards more efficient urban safety institutionalisation, planning, targeted financing and strategy development at the city level and across spheres of government. Among others, it makes recommendations about gender-responsive community safety planning as part of the prevention of gender-based violence and femicide efforts and the material inclusion of women and other marginalised persons in the city space and society.

It was produced by the Urban Safety Reference Group (USRG), which is convened by the South African Cities Network (SACN), with the support of the GIZ Inclusive Violence and Crime Prevention (VCP) Programme
