#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. 💜

South Africa declares gender violence a national disaster after protests

Fifteen women are killed every day in a country with one of the highest rates of gender violence in the world.

We demand that Gender-Based Violence and Femicide be declared a National Disaster. Not tomorrow. Not at another summit. Now!

Join the G20 Women’s Shutdown. Withdraw Your Power on 21 November.

Spread the message across South Africa and beyond. Let’s show the world the power of women.

🇿🇦 South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recent speech acknowledged femicide and Gender-Based Violence as a national ‘crisis’

First reactions online suggest that many are not satisfied with the empty promises continuously given by the presidency. Many will still move ahead with the ‘G20 Womens Shutdown’.

What do you believe will come from President Ramaphosa’s speech? Let us know in the comments 👇🏾

Ich möchte diesen Moment nutzen, um euch auf die Petition und den Protesttag von Woman for Change aufmerksam zu machen, da jeder weitere Femzid einer zu viel ist und in Südafrika im weltweiten Vergleich die Zahlen 5x so hoch sind.
