Women’s month was concluded on a very sad note in the country as we continued to witness violent acts against women and more recently at foreign nationals.
Gender Based Violence (GBV) is a serious societal problem confronting South African women including the Lesbian, gay and bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA+) communities – it is a menace. The recent tragic killing of Uyinene Mrwetyana, a student from University of Cape Town, as well as Jesse Hess from the University of the Western Cape provides a grim picture of how women continue to be victimized in our country on a daily basis.
