so much of the audio visual social media reports about #xenophobia are fake! here is the proof👇
🚨 False information is spreading. We’re tracking it live.
As the 30 June anti-migrant “deadline” approaches, migration disinformation is escalating in South Africa.

#SouthAfrica #30June
We, SRJC, reject the attack on our African sisters, brothers and gender non-conforming family within SA borders, we whole heartedly endorse Pregs Govender's words at this telling and terrifying time, while we advise our staff, members and ourselves to stay indoors and shelter
Reclaiming ourselves in a time of hate as 30 June undermines our collective humanity dailymaverick.co.za/opinioni…

His life was taken because of who he was, and yet justice remains unanswered.
Every person deserves to live freely, safely, and with dignity. We remember those whose voices were silenced and continue to stand against hate, discrimination, and violence🏳️🌈

The proposed dissolution of the Zimbabwe Gender Commission raises serious concerns for the protection and promotion of gender equality in Zimbabwe.
We call for the strengthening, not weakening of institutions that safeguard the rights of women and girls.

Professor Lizette Erasmus, who is part of the research team yesterday said that they’ve been reached out by the period companies mentioned in the study. I’m hoping that statements will be made to provide some clarity & accountability is taken.
Head of the Department of Chemistry at the University of the Free State Professor Deon Visser says prolonged exposure to chemicals found in some sanitary pads could lead to several different disorders, including infertility and endometriosis in women.

This week has caused a lot of panic for many people who menstruate. Not one single statement from the companies in that study. It’s really telling… 😖
South African women are being silently poisoned. A UFS study exposes hormone-disrupting chemicals in everyday menstrual products—a shocking betrayal of trust, safety, and basic rights. This isn’t oversight; it’s a threat to our bodies and our future. How should South Africa hold companies accountable for endangering women’s health?

[READ]: "The Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness says it has no plans to comply with a 2025 Labour Court ruling that community health workers (CHWs) must be absorbed into the formal health workforce.
Nobuntu Mfengwana (53) is a CHW in Cape Town working for Philani Nutrition Centre, one of the NPOs contracted by the department.
“Being regarded as an essential worker feels like an insult to me. I see myself as a vulnerable worker,” says Mfengwana.
She’s been working as a CHW for different organisations since 2012, gaining extensive experience over the years. She earns R4900 monthly – an amount she says is not enough to meet the basic needs of her family of nine."

Know your body. Know your rights. Know the law. ✊📘
SECTION27 and the Centre for Child Law have developed the Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights Handbook unpacks the legal framework that protects your sexual and reproductive health rights and the steps you can take when those rights are violated.

Women's safety and dignity attacked again. How sneeky companies have gotten at hurting us. I bet none of these co are owned by women either!

We write with rage. We speak with love for our sisters whose dignity has been stripped.
This statement is our collective cry against the systematic violation of women by those meant to protect us. Our homes are not theatres of state violence. Silence is no longer an option.

Incredible after this 8 year-long battle. Congratulations @wanuri
Big win for free expression in Kenya 🇰🇪
This morning, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of #FreedomOfExpression. The government can’t shut down art with force or take parts of artists’ work. This case started with #Rafiki, but it protects all of us. The Constitution stands!
Thank you, leadership. This is a gift.
‘uMhlangano is a queer-led gathering born from our shared longing for connection, belonging & meaning beyond commercialised, exclusionary spaces.
We’re co-creating space for reflection, music & conversation, honouring agnostic spiritual expression.

Coerced sterilisation is torture under international law. Where is justice? #endobstetricviolence #endgbvf @DOJCD_ZA @CGE_ZA @OHSCSOCIALMEDIA
A KZN woman living with HIV alleges that she was coerced into sterilisation at a government hospital at the age of 19 when she was due to give birth. She says she now lives with the trauma that she will never give birth again due to a decision taken by someone else. @SilethiweNdlovu has more.

South African women are shutting down the nation on November 21st as a loud, bold protest against femicide and gender-based violence. Changing your avatar to purple is only the first step. Here's what else you can do to support our sisters in SA: okayafrica.com/fed-up-with-f…
