Earlier this year I called on the most protected and powerful in journalism to speak out publicly for us—white men and white women—and most of them ignored me and refused. Yet these are the same ppl who will talk about #GBV on Dec 6 as though this isn’t ongoing in their backyard
These voices are those you see on Tv regularly. Many of those white men denied and discredited our experiences like a certain @CBCNews Parliamentary reporter who said that “the PM gets more hate”. I have yet to see any repudiation by management. JSP doesn’t exist for them
Chinese billionaire Richard Liu agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by a former University of Minnesota student who alleged he raped her in Minneapolis in 2018, attorneys for both sides announced.
A settlement amount was not disclosed.

Liu Jingyao alleges the attack happened in 2018 while Richard Liu was in Minneapolis for a weeklong residency in the University of Minnesota’s doctor of business administration China program, geared toward high-level executives in China.

Chinese feminists touted the settlement as a qualified victory for the country’s beleaguered #MeToo movement. In China, the legal system offers little recourse for female victims, and rape is rarely discussed.

As seen on “The Embrace Project” IG:
I guess #BhekiCele is pretty pleased to have the pandemic to blame when it comes to accounting for the spike in statistics for #GBV&F. All this demonstrates, however, is that he is devastatingly incompetent.
In spite of legislative reform, the pronouncement of presidential policies, and a commitment (allegedly) to a national strategic plan to address GBV&F, the statistics in SA continue to climb.
