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: https://t.co/WvfgQWpZNv

[Safe Speak @SafeSpeak]

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

[Safe Speak @SafeSpeak]

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

[#TheTotalShutdown @WomenProtestSA]

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.

Dear @DOJCD_ZA @Saps justice system is too often unjust. #WomensMonth

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:

[Tosunga Baninga @TBaninga]

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

[Shaeera Akbar Kalla @shaeera_k]

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

[GBV Prevention Net @GBVnet]

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

Today, our co-founder, Norma Mbele will be a speaker on this webinar on the GBV pandemic:

[GBV Prevention Net @GBVnet]

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.

What an incredible day! Both of our in-house counsel arguing for us in two virtual hearings in the Western Cape High Court. Both bringing in arguments about the need to address #SLAPP suits used to silence human rights defenders
