Gender-based violence and femicide are deeply entrenched and widespread crises in South Africa. Every day, women and children in both urban and rural communities face unimaginable violence and brutality. The governmentโs failure to take decisive action enables perpetrators to operate with impunity, leaving survivors without justice and communities in fear.
The following facts highlight the devastating reality of GBVF in South Africa. (All information can be found here) women for change
๐ The rate of femicide in South Africa is 6x higher than the global average, with at least 15 women being murdered every day.
๐ 5,578 women were murdered in 2023/24, a 33,8% increase compared to the year before.
๐ 1,656 children were murdered in 2023/24, a 38,7% increase compared to the year before
๐ 42,569 rape cases were reported to the police in 2023/24.
๐ Itโs estimated that 95% of rape cases are not reported.
๐ 63,054 assaults with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm on women in 2023/24.
=> These alarming statistics make it clear that gender-based violence and femicide have reached a crisis point and that urgent action is needed to protect our women and children.
