TEARS Foundation on GBV in South Africa

--:--
The 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children is a United Nations campaign which takes place annually from the 25th of November to the 10th of December, which is International Human Rights Day.

The theme this year is “30 Years of Advancing Collective Action to End Violence Against Women and Children”.

This year’s campaign emphasises addressing the root causes of GBVF, promoting positive masculinity, promoting gender equity and creating economic opportunities for women and children.

Just looking at the numbers, more than 2,500 women and children were killed in the country between April and September this year.

So, to discuss GBV in South Africa, and whether or not we’re making any progress in our fight against it, Carol Ofori spoke to Interventions Supervisor at TEARS FOUNDATION Kavya Swaminathan.
