Hate speech is the first step toward violence. SA's xenophobic violence proves it. It targets migrants, refugees, women, LGBTQIA+ people and other minorities, spreading faster than ever online.
We choose dignity and solidarity over scapegoating.

📚 Stories help children explore values, build empathy, and develop critical thinking. Don't just read the story, talk about it. Ask questions, discuss choices, and connect lessons to real life. The most important part of a story may be the conversation that follows. #SASSParents

Confronting Religious Indoctrination in South African Schools
Religious indoctrination occurs when beliefs are presented as unquestionable truths and learners are encouraged to accept them without critical examination.

On International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations, we celebrate conversation over confrontation. In a divided world, understanding, tolerance and respect matter more than ever. Our shared humanity is stronger than our differences.

Children may face pressure to conform to religious beliefs. Parents can help by encouraging critical thinking, respectful dialogue, and confidence in saying, "That's not what I believe." The goal isn't what to think, but how to think.

Curious kids become lifelong learners. Embrace the "why" questions. Turn a walk in the park into a science lesson. Let them be bored. Self-discovery is where the magic happens. 💡

SASS interviewed Kai Taraporevala, the author of Modern Humanism: Science, Ethics and the Stewardship of Earth. Take a look.

The old saying is right: it takes a village to raise a child.
On #GlobalDayOfParents, let's talk about what that actually looks like - childcare, community networks, decent parental leave, and neighbours who show up.

No parent should go it alone. 💛

A humanist funeral is a non-religious, personalised ceremony celebrating the life of the deceased. Led by a celebrant, it focusses on shared memories, tributes, music, and quiet reflection to honour their unique personality and legacy.

A Humanist non-religious Baby Naming welcomes the new family member. We tell the story and meaning of their names, have appropriate readings and make our promises to the child. There will probably be candles and music and certainly a great deal of love and joy.
