5.7 Since 2013, Government has been rolling out the 4Ps campaign (Prevention, Protection, Participation through personal commitment and development of Programmes to end violence against women and girls). The campaign is a community based awareness programme that focuses on raising awareness on the Domestic Violence Act and strengthening the capacity of communities to establish mechanisms for preventing and responding to domestic violence. 5.8 The Victim Friendly System (VFS) was created as a multi-sectoral response to domestic violence. The VFS comprises of the Victim Friendly Units within the police and the Victim Friendly Courts which protect vulnerable witnesses in sexual abuse cases. Although initially intended for child victims of sexual abuse, it has now been extended to adult female rape victims. Nationally there are 419 victim-friendly police stations situated at national, provincial and district levels.
