THE PRICE OF FREEDOM FOR MANY WOMEN IS DEATH.
3 women are killed every day in the RSA. Many victims stay in an abusive relationship because they fear the consequences, if they leave. You have the right to choose FREEDOM. Contact POWA for support. https://t.co/VQfdbFCZp8 #POWA

GBV reports are up three times since the lockdown. Please listen to this very important appeal from @phumzileunwomen and share it further. #GetOurCountryBack

[UN Women @UN_Women]

“I am making an appeal to leaders to declare the services that address gender-based violence, essential services.”

Executive Director @phumzileunwomen shares why we need women front and centre in the #COVID19 response:

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

Let’s not wait for the #COVID19 crisis to broaden gender inequalities and hit women harder.

It's time to take action. Here's my call to global leaders. via @Reuters https://t.co/srAMuhUbtN

Add another public health crisis to the toll of the #coronavirus:

Mounting data suggests that domestic abuse is acting like an opportunistic infection, flourishing in the conditions created by the pandemic. #COVID19 via @nytimes https://t.co/k2nFEvQemW

[UN Women @UN_Women]

When crisis hits, women take the lead in supporting their communities through challenging times.

These refugee women learned how to make soap🧼 to prevent #coronavirus at the @ZaatariCamp camp in Jordan. 🎥: @Refugees

[Women Deliver @WomenDeliver]

"Just as rates of violence are on the rise...the ability of women to access services will decrease." @MarcyHersh, our Senior Manager for #Humanitarian Advocacy calls for greater protection against #GBV during #COVID19 in a new @guardian article: https://t.co/t4x1ysEdh1

87 000 calls reporting domestic violence have been made to the GBV Command Centre since the lockdown, 8 days ago. Gender-based violence is a pandemic in the RSA. #GetOurCountryBack #powa

[Republic of Sexual Abuse @WelcomeToRSA]

The pandemic is here. And has been for years. Every 4 hours a woman is killed, 114 are raped and 360 physically and sexually abused, daily. This is a national crisis! Stand against GBV. Renounce your citizenship of the Republic of Sexual Abuse and support POWA. #POWA #pandemic

[Republic of Sexual Abuse @WelcomeToRSA]

Because your doors have to be closed during the lockdown, People Opposing Women Abuse is making sure theirs are not. Watch with the sound on if you can. #getourcountryback #powa #republicofsexualabuse #LockdownSA

[Republic of Sexual Abuse @WelcomeToRSA]

People Opposing Women Abuse, Executive Director Mary Makgaba will be on @encanews on 4 April at 6:30 talking about the increased rates of gender-based violence since the RSA lockdown. #republicofsexualabuse #getourcountryback #womensrights #abusepandemic #covid19 #powa

[Keri-Ann Stanton @KAmuses]

Women will be hit harder by the #COVIDー19 crisis. Make sure you know these numbers please 🙏🏻 ⁦@POWA_ZA⁩ ⁦@WelcomeToRSA⁩

We need your help to stop the rise in intimate partner violence during lockdown. To report abuse call GBV Command Centre on 080 042 8428. #republicofsexualabuse #getourcountryback #powa #lockdownsa #domesticviolence #covid19

[Republic of Sexual Abuse @WelcomeToRSA]

As lockdown continues in the RSA, consider the many victims of abuse who are stuck inside with their aggressors. Report abuse to the GBV Command Centre on 0800428428 and make sure women are not hit the hardest by the lockdown. #republicofsexualabuse #getourcountryback #POWA

If you or anyone you know, who is in an abusive situation, call DSD Command Centre 080 042 8428 or call *120*7867. The police will be alerted. @POWA_ZA @WelcomeToRSA

[Keri-Ann Stanton @KAmuses]

1 in 6 women are regularly abused at home by their partner. If you or anyone you know, finds themselves in an abusive situation, call CSD Command Centre 080 042 8428 or *120*7867. The police will be alerted. Let’s make sure that the lockdown is not a knock down. @WelcomeToRSA

[Republic of Sexual Abuse @WelcomeToRSA]

HOME IS NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN. There are brutal ramifications to the lockdown for many women in the RSA. Imagine being locked up with your abuser for 21 days? #GetOurCountryBack #RepublicOfSexualAbuse #POWA #Lockdown

[Rosie Motene- Pan African Queer feminist! 🏳️‍🌈 @RosieMotene]

Gender based violence is a frightening reality! Many live with their abusers and they rely on the abusers leaving the home for work or travel. With the Covid 19 they will be forced to be with their tormentors 24/7!
Check on them regularly! @POWA_ZA @jokoteasa
