Erika Sumner#BREAKING #NEWS: BIG day for #women in #SouthAfrica! After an online campaign and today’s countrywide protest “lie down”, South Africa has announced it’s classifying violence against women a national disaster. In a country where women are murdered at five times the global average, the government is finally going to put real resources behind fighting gender based violence. 💜

📣 Call to Action: https://asanb.noblogs.org/?p=14278 - @danielasepehri
On 21 November, women and queer communities in South Africa will shut down their nation and go on strike.
The action was initiated by the South African organisation ‘Women for Change’.
With the Women's Shutdown, they are demanding the following ahead of the G20 summit:
Declare gender-based violence and femicide a national emergency. Not sometime in the future, but now!
Our stories are different. But our struggles are connected.
We want to take to the streets with them and show our solidarity. That is why we are joining the call:
Protest with us on Friday. In Berlin – and in every other city!
South Africa is experiencing one of the world's deadliest forms of patriarchal violence:
The femicide rate in South Africa is six times higher than in the rest of the world. Every day, at least 15 women die there as a result of femicide.
In 2024, there were over 5,500, representing a 38% increase on the previous year.
We recognise the same patterns of patriarchal violence!

📣 Aufruf: https://asanb.noblogs.org/?p=14278 - @danielasepehri
Am 21. November werden Frauen und queere Communities in Südafrika ihre Nation stilllegen und streiken.
Initiiert wurde die Aktion von der südafrikanischen Organisation "Women for Change".
Mit dem Women's Shutdown fordern sie vor dem G20-Gipfel:
Erklärt geschlechtsbasierte Gewalt und Femizide zur Nationalen Notlage. Nicht irgendwann, sondern jetzt!
Unsere Geschichten sind unterschiedlich. Unsere Kämpfe aber verbunden.
Wir wollen mit ihnen auf die Straße gehen und unsere Solidarität zeigen. Deshalb schließen wir uns dem Aufruf an:
Protestiert Freitag mit uns. In Berlin - und in jeder anderen Stadt!
Südafrika erlebt eine der weltweit tödlichsten Formen patriarchaler Gewalt:
Die Femizidrate in Südafrika ist 6 x so hoch wie im Rest der Welt. Jeden Tag sterben dort mindestens 15 Frauen durch einen Femizid.
2024 waren es über 5500, was einen Anstieg von 38% zum Vorjahr bedeuten.
Wir erkennen dieselben Muster von patriarchaler Gewalt!
