South Africa is plagued by Gender Based Violence (GBV).
The country’s femicide rate is now five times higher than the global average.
This week South Africans have collectively mourned after the rape and murder of a young university student (Uyinene Mrwetyana). Her death resonates throughout South Africa among both womxm and men, largely because of the circumstances. She was raped and murdered in broad daylight going to the post office.
Protests have been initiated across the country in hopes of legislative and attitudinal changes.
I'm sharing this information because it deserves attention, she deserves attention, we as womxm deserve to feel safe.
(I know this isn't studyblr related but as a young South African female this issue has a direct impact on my everyday life.)
