Gender-based Violence in South Africa
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a widespread issue in South Africa, disproportionately affecting women and girls. It is deeply entrenched in institutions, cultures, and traditions, with patriarchal power structures dominating many societies. GBV can take various forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, financial, or structural, and can be committed by intimate partners, acquaintances, strangers, and institutions. In South Africa, GBV is particularly prevalent, with high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) and non-partner sexual violence (SV). Men are most often the perpetrators, while women and children are victims. GBV is driven by gendered power inequality rooted in patriarchy, which is more prevalent in societies where male superiority is treated as the norm. Factors such as social norms, low levels of women's empowerment, lack of social support, socio-economic inequality, and substance abuse contribute to GBV. Addressing GBV effectively is challenging due to the social acceptability of violence in many cultures.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a significant human rights violation with significant social and developmental impacts on survivors, families, communities, and society. In South Africa, GBV leads to psychological trauma, behavioral, and physical consequences, with poor access to formal psychosocial or medical support. The country's health care facilities, HIV, reproductive health, mental health, and economic consequences are all affected. South Africa is a signatory to international treaties and strong legislative frameworks, but addressing GBV requires multi-faceted responses and commitment from all stakeholders.

Prevention and response approaches can be divided into response and prevention. Response services aim to support survivors of violence, while prevention initiatives focus on preventing violence. South Africa has implemented several GBV prevention programs, such as Thula Sana, Sinovuyo Caring Families Programme, Prepare, Skhokho Supporting Success, Stepping Stones, and IMAGE.

Developing the evidence base is crucial, and South Africa is a leader in prevention interventions in low and middle income countries. By identifying models that work to respond to and prevent violence, South Africa can work on scaling up to reach more people and responding to the national crisis.

At HMR News Updates, we condemn such behaviour and plead with everyone for justice to be served.
