What can you do to show your support? 

Volunteer / donate in support of CAUSES who support abused women & children and survivors of Gender Based Violence #GBV. Help by creating designs highlighting the plight of missing children. Or donate care packs for rape victims. You can even donate money to assist survivors. Use your skills and knowledge to help!

What should you ALWAYS do?

Speak out against woman and child abuse.

  • Encourage silent female victims to talk about abuse and ensure that they get help.
  • Report child abuse to the police.
  • Encourage children to report bully behaviour to school authorities.
  • Men and boys are encouraged to talk about abuse and actively discourage abusive behaviour.
  • Seek help if you are emotionally, physically or sexually abusive to your partner and/or children. 
  • Talk to friends, relatives and colleagues to take a stand against abuse of women and children.
  • Try and understand how your own attitudes and actions might perpetuate sexism and violence.

Together we can take action to support the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign.
