Gender-based violence remains one of South Africa’s most urgent crises.

AFSA stands in deep solidarity with survivors, families and communities affected by the ongoing Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) crisis in our country. South Africa continues to face unacceptably high levels of violence against women, children, LGBTIQ+ persons and other vulnerable populations, violence that erodes dignity, destroys families, and undermines the social fabric of our communities.

GBVF is not just as women’s issue, it’s a national emergency that requires collective action.
Together, we can break the cycle. 💜✊🏾
