Raising awareness about the GBVF disaster in South Africa, led by the Women for change organisation. Over 5k women were murdered last year, almost 68k girls were impregnated whilst in school, almost 2k of those girls are 10-14 years old… laws are weak, survivors aren’t supported
We live in a world where male violence and misogyny is driving women’s trauma and crises, no one will even name the true cause, no one will hold men accountable, no one will accept the levels of trauma and distress in women and girls’ lives, instead increasingly diagnosing them as mentally ill, hysterical, borderline and psychotic - but full headlines are written about men’s mental health being affected because someone said something they did gives them the ‘ick’.
We might be on the same pitch, sisters, but we are playing by different rules.
Our suffering means nothing. Their comfort means everything.
Life is different when you’ve been through emotional rock bottom and built yourself back up. Not everyone has access to you. You’ve fought too hard for your peace.
