According to UN WOMEN, Nearly 1 in 3 women have been abused in their lifetime. In times of crises, the numbers rise, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic and recent humanitarian crises, conflicts and climate disasters. Today marks the launch of the 16 days of activism campaign and we will be unpacking various issues over the next few days as we also play our part in raising awareness against GBV.
We kick start our series of those conversations by engaging the department of women, youth and persons with disabilities, to hear from them what their plan is for this years. Phinah Kodisang, CEO of the Soul City Institute for social justice is also in conversation with us to speak to us their 16 Days of Activism event titled Kgalemelang From Awareness to Accountability. The event is to move people from just being aware of gender-based violence towards personal accountability and the justice system, civil society and general society.
