In conversation with Sabrina Walter and Merlize Jogiat of Women for Change, and Brigitta Mangale in CDH's Pro Bono and Human Rights practice, we delve into this question. The dialogue aims to amplify the voices of women, share insight and inspire meaningful action. These are the women doing the real work on the ground, driving change and making a meaningful difference in the lives of women.

The discussion around the classification, implementation of policies, the emotional burden, and ancillary impacts of GBV highlights that the work is ongoing. Without continuous efforts, women will remain trapped in a system that cultivates a persistent sense of fear. This engaging conversation provides strategies for the implementation of laws and policies, a response to the devastating impact of GBV on the lives of women, and how best we can assist activist organisations like Women for Change in fighting the scourge.

Don't miss the opportunity to listen, learn and be part of the movement.
