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."

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.

In 2019, CEDAW visited SA.
They found systemic failures to protect women.
They gave the State 21 recommendations.
In 2025, we ask: how many have been fulfilled?
Stay tuned…
Repost and tag those in power!
