Our attitude towards GBV (Gender based Violence) can prevent it in the future.
It is affecting someone you know right now
It isn’t happening ‘out there.’ It is happening in your community whether you live in a golf estate or a township. GBV does not discriminate and is EVERYWHERE! 1 out of 3 women is no joke
It is expensive
The amount of money that is spent responding to GBV is shocking. The time of law enforcement, medical professionals and assistance, legal professionals, autopsies, rape kits, counselling center’s and all the other expenses that come with these cases.
South African Government
YOU can break the cycle
Children who witness or experience abuse at home often grow up to be perpetrators or accept their place as victims.
Changing GBV will have a domino effect
In South Africa race is such a sensitive topic, but I truly believe that we cannot love and respect cultures and races different from our own if we cannot even respect our own mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters.
Why should you care about GBV because you can make a difference when you stand up and speak up for women and children who have suffered from violence.
