Ending gender-based violence (GBV) in South Africa is crucial to protecting human rights, ensuring safety, and promoting gender equality. GBV undermines social and economic progress, harms victims’ physical and mental well-being, and perpetuates cycles of poverty and trauma. Addressing GBV fosters a safer, more just society for all.
I’m a nineteen year old Swazi, living in India. I was raped by my sister ( mom’s sisters child) from ages 5 to 12. I told my grandmother and she did nothing but punish me and make me sleep outside instead. From then onwards I was despised. It hurts to see that women everyday are suffering in Silence. Justice for all victims and let’s stop GBV!!!!!
