LAST DAY OF WOMEN'S MONTH | 31 AUGUST 2026

Today, as , we as men want to start by saying: WE ARE SORRY.

We sincerely apologize on behalf of men who have committed Gender-Based Violence against women and men. We are sorry for those who took advantage of you because you could not defend yourself. We are sorry for those who continued to satisfy their own needs even when victims pleaded for their lives.

We are truly sorry that there are still men who continue to perpetrate GBV.

As we close Women's Month, we make this appeal to the youth out there: Come, let us continue to protect our grandmothers, our mothers, our aunts, our sisters and our loved ones by standing with them and saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - KWANELE NGOKU!

It does not require you to know a victim to protect them and take a stand against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide. Participate in peaceful marches and awareness campaigns.

We appeal to the youth, to adults, to communities and to the country: Let us stand in solidarity in the fight against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide.

Always ask yourself: _What if it was someone you know and love? Would you still protect the perpetrator?_

As , we call for a change of mindset. Let us protect our loved ones. Let us protect each other.

Amandla Ngawethu!

TODAY WE WALKED TO REMEMBER. TODAY WE WALKED TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Today, the team proudly led learners from Isilimela High School to join the Uyinene Mrwetyana GBV Awareness Walk in Claremont.

We walked with heavy hearts, remembering all the victims who lost their lives at the hands of perpetrators. We walked to say NO to Gender-Based Violence.

Our Director, Xola Qinga, gave a powerful message that touched everyone present:
_"Does GBV have to happen to your sister, your mother, or someone you know for you to take it seriously? GBV is not a game. It is a serious pandemic we are facing in our communities and our country."_

We are not walking for fun. We are walking because victims cried and begged for their lives. We are not playing — we mean business.

As , we will continue to march and raise awareness until justice and safety is real for all. We are here to plead with the youth: Let us share GBV awareness posts. Let us support one another. Let us all be GBV Ambassadors in our communities.

You don't need government to make you one. You don't need to know a victim to care. You just need a heart, unity, and courage to stand with victims and say NO TO GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE.

Together, united, we can beat this pandemic.

Amandla Ngawethu!

“The revolution and women’s liberation go together. We do not talk of women’s emancipation as an act of charity or because of a surge of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the triumph of the revolution. Women hold up the other half of the sky.” — Thomas Sankara

We are honoured to have Aluve and Aluvuyo representing at the Imbokodo Seminar with Robben Island. As we continue our Women’s Month programme, we are proud to participate in a powerful space that brings people together to reflect on women’s leadership, empowerment, equality and the ongoing struggle against gender-based violence.

This is more than an event, it is an opportunity to listen, learn, engage and strengthen our collective commitment to building a society where women and girls are respected, protected and empowered.

“The revolution and women’s liberation go together.” — Thomas Sankara

We are honoured to be part of this important conversation with Robben Island and to continue carrying the message of wherever we go.

Our member Aluvuyo Hlakaza represented us today.❤️✊🏿🕯️

This happened today in Cape Town. The Western Cape Provincial Dialogue! A key objective of the provincial dialogues was to create opportunities for women to share their experiences and perspectives on what is preventing the realisation of South Africa’s constitutional vision and to identify what is required to build safer, more peaceful and inclusive communities. The outcomes of these discussions will contribute to the broader National Dialogue process and inform ongoing efforts to strengthen peacebuilding and governance in the country.

The Importance of Collaboration in Tackling Gender-Based Violence and Femicide

Gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) cannot be ended by one organisation or one sector alone. It requires the collective commitment of communities, government, civil society, schools, faith-based organisations, businesses, and individuals. Collaboration allows us to combine our knowledge, resources, and expertise to provide better prevention, protection, and support for survivors. By working together, we create stronger awareness campaigns, improve access to services, and ensure that perpetrators are held accountable. Partnerships also help us address the root causes of violence, including harmful gender norms, inequality, and poverty. When men and boys, women and girls, and community leaders unite, we build a culture of respect, accountability, and equality. Every collaboration strengthens the movement to prevent violence before it happens. Together, we amplify our voices, increase our impact, and create safer communities for everyone. Ending GBVF is a shared responsibility, and lasting change is only possible when we stand together.
