21 Days of Activism

Mpho Foundation NPO (247-277) stands with every person impacted by gender-based violence. These 21 Days of Activism remind us that behind every story is a real life, a real family, a real cry for safety.

GBV is not just a headline. It lives in our homes, our streets, and sometimes in the silence we don’t talk about. This year, we choose to listen more, support more, and show up more.

To every survivor:
You matter. Your voice matters. Your healing matters.

Let’s look out for each other.
Let’s speak up when something feels wrong.
Let’s raise boys who understand respect and men who choose peace.

Together, we build communities where people feel safe, seen and valued.

🌍 MPHO FOUNDATION NPO WELCOMES THE PRESIDENT’S STAND AGAINST GBV 💜

Mpho Foundation proudly welcomes President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recent statement and strong commitment to ending Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) in South Africa.

His acknowledgement of GBV as a national crisis and his call for a united, coordinated national response is an important step toward real change. We are encouraged by:

✨ Stronger laws & closing legal gaps
The President has called for strengthened legislation to better protect survivors and ensure justice.

✨ Better survivor support services
The expansion of Thuthuzela Care Centres, more sexual-offences courts, and improved reporting systems gives survivors more dignified, safe spaces.

✨ National coordination through the GBVF Council
The establishment of the National Council on GBV helps ensure accountability and unified action across government and civil society.

✨ A call to men & boys to take responsibility
The President’s pledge for men to stand up, speak out, and actively challenge violence is a powerful shift toward prevention.

At Mpho Foundation, we believe that real impact requires action, not just statements. We stand ready to work with communities, government, faith leaders, and organisations to support survivors, educate young people, and challenge harmful norms that fuel violence.

Let us come together to build a South Africa where no woman or child lives in fear. 💜

Today our hearts remain heavy as we continue to witness the brutal loss of women’s lives across the country. Mpho Foundation (NPO 247-277) stands with every family affected and with every community living in fear. Gender-Based Violence is not just a headline, it is a daily reality for too many women and girls.

We are calling on our community to stay alert, speak out, report abuse and support survivors. Silence helps perpetrators. Action protects lives.

We again call for justice in all recent cases that have shaken our nation. No woman should have to beg for safety. No family should have to bury a daughter because the system failed her.

Let us raise our voices together and demand accountability. Let us create safe spaces. Let us refuse to normalise violence.

Enough truly is enough.

Statement by Mpho Foundation (NPO 247-277)


Mpho Foundation is deeply dismayed and heartbroken by the ongoing killings and brutal attacks against women across South Africa. The recent tragic cases reported in various provinces remind us that gender-based violence remains a national crisis demanding urgent action, accountability, and justice.

We stand in solidarity with the families of the victims and all survivors who continue to suffer in silence. Violence against women is not only a crime, it is a direct attack on our humanity and collective conscience.

We call upon law enforcement agencies, the justice system, and community leaders to act swiftly and decisively. Justice delayed is justice denied. Mpho Foundation demands justice for every woman whose life has been taken and pledges to continue raising awareness, empowering survivors, and advocating for stronger protection measures.

Enough is enough. Let us protect our women. Let us build a nation free from violence.
