Enough Is Enough

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a profound and widespread problem in South Africa, impacting almost every aspect of life. GBV (which disproportionately affects women and girls) is systemic, and deeply entrenched in institutions, cultures and traditions in South Africa. Societies free of GBV do not exist, and South Africa is no exception. Thousands of protesters took to the streets nation-wide in South Africa to demand an address from President Cyril Ramaphosa. This is in response to the rising levels of gender-based violence in South Africa and days after the brutal murder of University of Cape Town student, Uyinene Mrwentyana. Many carried placards reading: “Enough is enough”, “My body is not your crime scene” and pleading with the president, Cyril Ramaphosa, to act against the violence perpetrated against women and children.
