Gender-Based Violence Is Destroying Lives — And Tearing Communities Apart
July 22, 2025
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a national crisis. It is devastating families, disrupting communities, and claiming the safety and dignity of countless individuals across South Africa.
It happens where we should feel most secure in our homes, our schools, and our workplaces. And far too often, it happens in silence.
But silence does not have to be the norm.
This cycle can be broken.
See It? Speak Out.
If you witness abuse, do not look away. Your voice could be the one that helps save a life.
Hurting? Reach Out.
If you are experiencing abuse, help is available. You are not alone, and you do not have to suffer in silence.
Doing Nothing Is Not an Option.
