Yesterday marked the first day of #16DaysOfActivism. And for the full 24 hours, I went silent on social media in solidarity with @standardbanksa’s #HearHerVoice initiative, which is intended to raise awareness of the silencing of survivors of GBV+F.
In my own experience as a survivor of rape, I know how devastating and crippling silence can be - the silence of those you finally find the strength to tell your story; the silence fuelled by fear; the silence from those who are meant to serve and protect.
The time for silence is over. We don't need to raise awareness - who can say they aren't aware of the devastating reality we face with regards to GBV+F in SA? We need accountability. We need action. We need interventions that actually make a difference. & we need all of that NOW.
