Gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) in South Africa remains a severe crisis, with over 4 000 women killed by men last year alone.
Gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa remains a severe crisis, with over 4 000 women killed by men last year alone.With this alarming reality, the nationwide non-profit organisation Women For Change has been a crucial support system for survivors, offering advocacy and a voice to those silenced by violence.
In April 2024 alone, WFC garnered over 28 million impressions across social media channels. More than 1 million people engage with their content monthly, creating a supportive and active community. Despite these limitations, WFC has made significant strides. The emotional toll of the work is immense, yet the survivors and their families keep Walter inspired and motivated. Witnessing survivors achieve justice and reclaim their power brings immense pride, even though true justice often remains elusive.‘I haven’t witnessed much justice, but I’ve seen resilience and strength. Many stories have become a part of me and inspire me to work harder,’ says Walter.
Since the launch, over 183 unique and offline donors have come together to support WFC by contributing over R78 000 towards their fundraising goal of R800 000.
