SafeStart Project
Collaborating with a local neighborhood watch group to provide essentials in a gift pack, known as SafeStart, for victims who have fled to safety is a meaningful way to support survivors of gender-based violence. By providing these essential items, we are not only meeting immediate needs but also helping them regain a sense of ownership and stability. Such acts of generosity and support can contribute to their healing and well-being during a challenging time.
How Do We End GBV in South Africa?
To tackle gender-based violence, we need to take several important steps:
1. Raise awareness and educate: Spread knowledge through programs that challenge harmful gender stereotypes, and promote healthy relationships, consent, and gender equality.
2. Empower women: Support initiatives that provide economic opportunities, education, and legal protections, empowering women and reducing their vulnerability to violence.
3. Strengthen the legal framework: Enforce comprehensive laws and policies that criminalize and punish all forms of gender-based violence, such as domestic violence, harassment, and sexual assault.
4. Provide support services: Establish accessible and survivor-centered assistance, including helplines, counseling, shelters, and legal aid, with sufficient funding and availability for all survivors.
5. Engage men and boys: Encourage active participation in challenging harmful social norms, promoting positive masculinity, and advocating for gender equality.
6. Encourage respectful media representation: Urge media organizations to depict women and men in non-stereotypical, respectful ways, avoiding the glamorization or normalization of violence.
7. Change social norms: Engage communities, run advocacy campaigns, and promote gender equality to challenge and transform harmful social norms that perpetuate gender-based violence.
