Why don't they just leave?
There are many reasons why survivors stay or return to abusive relationships. Criticizing their decisions will not help. They will need your support even more during those times. Learn More: bit.ly/313JPqZ

We cannot end sexual violence till we eradicate all forms of social + economic inequalities in society. Many girls + women experience barriers in accessing friendly #SRHR services, quality education, shelters and adequate employment increasing the risk of #sexualviolence. #GBV

Knowing what to say and do when a friend shares their #SGBV experience is important. You could play a big role in timely connecting them to appropriate care and support. Check the Do's and Don'ts of talking to a survivor of #sexualviolence compiled by @together4girls. #EndGBV

Today marks 2 years since we marched in the fight against gender based violence and femicide. Women and children are still dying. When women speak up we are the perpetrators threaten to sue victims.
Today, we tell our stories.

It's the 1 AUGUST 2020, and we still have nothing to celebrate, but our existence to fight for.

We have a client who has been denied bail and forced to await trial in detention away from her young family for 18 months so far, without consistent medical care for a chronic illness - despite posing no flight risk or threat to others #WomensMonth #WomensMonth2020 #HimOrMe
We've been doing our part to keep Evaton sanitized and as safe as possible during the #COVID19SouthAfrica pandemic. Friends, please show each other support and patience whenever you can. We will get through this together.
Our food distribution has included fresh veggies - full of healthy goodness. That's what we want for Evaton:
We've been quiet on social media but not in Evaton - our work has kept us busier than ever. Thanks to the partners who have been working with us to ensure that community members receive food.

Patriarchy reduces women to simply bodies and determines which bodies are valuable and worthy of existing in society. We reject that notion. We are more than our bodies. We are mind, spirit and soul. We each deserve to be here no what matter our body looks like. #BodyPolitics

How can we expect people to take care when they cannot feed their families? Our unemployment rate which was already amongst some of the highest in the world has skyrocketed and yet the #CovidGrant has not been implemented. This is life and death for people. #PayTheGrants
Tosunga Baninga retweeted
We choose to respect and care for our bodies. Our bodies belong to us and nature has given us the responsibility to take care of them. How do you care for your body? #BodyPolitics

Violence won't end completely if we focus on punishing perpetrators. Instead, the patriarchal constructs that condone and normalise a culture of violence against women and girls must be eradicated and every woman and girl must be valued as full human and treated with dignity.
