Gender Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) has been a pandemic long before COVID 19. South Africa is a violent country. This violence is steeped in our politics, manifested in criminal activity, enacted against political opponents and foreigners, and evident in staggering levels of gender-based violence and femicide of women, children and gender non-conforming persons. This Women’s month in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic which has exacerbated these forms of violence, is a perfect opportunity to take stock and reinvigorate our response in addressing this problem.
The seminar is jointly hosted by the HSRC and the Gender Justice Health and Human Development of Durban University of Technology. The two talks will be followed by respondents and a discussion with the audience will be moderated by Professor Cheryl Potgieter and Dr Mpumi Zungu.
