After a teenage girl was killed and there was a sexual assault that took place over the Easter holiday in a nearby church, Khayelitsha residents organised a nonviolent march on Saturday, 23 April 2023.
Two ladies were robbed and sexually assaulted inside the Shower Of Blessings Zion church in Khayelitsha, and Thimna Kuza was abused and killed while at a sleepover at her friend's house.
The suspected offenders are still in jail, but for how long? How long will it be before police dockets, particularly those involving gender-based violence, disappear every day? The victims and their families are concerned about how many GBV-related cases are being dismissed from court as a result of missing dockets.
By informing individuals about the repercussions of infringing another person's rights, this significant barrier can be overcome. Inform the public on the causes of gender-based violence. You can help people open up by showing that you believe in and support survivors. Create workshops where young boys and girls will be educated and trained about GBV so they can coexist peacefully.
Everyone is affected by gender-based violence, but it especially affects women. Since many GBV instances involve both women and children, it also affects me as a woman. Now, as a young woman, it makes me wonder, "Am I next?" a question I believe many women and girls ask themselves. Because of the weird duality that our culture has created for women—that you need a man to be appreciated—I continuously live in terror. This has left me and many other women living in fear that in order for us and our rights to be acknowledged, we must be modest.
But I personally believe it is my obligation as an ethical citizen to speak up and advocate the voiceless.
