Enough.
End GBV in South Africa.
Every woman in this country knows the feeling:
That deep breath before walking to the car.
That instinct to check in, to share locations, to look over our shoulders.
And every mother of daughters knows an even heavier truth —
we are raising little girls in a world that has not yet learned to love, value, or protect them the way they deserve.
Gender-based violence is not a headline.
It’s not a “women’s issue.”
It’s a national disaster!
A wound that keeps reopening.
A reality that shapes how we move, how we parent, how we prepare our girls for a world that should never require this level of vigilance.
We cannot accept this.
We cannot normalise this.
We cannot continue whispering about a disaster that screams in every community.
South Africa needs:
• Accountability, not excuses.
• Protection, not empty promises.
• Education, not silence.
• Safety, not survival strategies.
• A justice system that values women’s lives.
Every woman deserves to live.
To dream.
To walk freely.
To raise her daughters without fear.
To the leaders, the systems, the communities:
Do better. Now.
Because our girls are watching —
and they deserve a South Africa where their brilliance is celebrated, not threatened.
