Calls are growing louder for South Africa’s fight against Gender-Based Violence

Calls are growing louder for South Africa’s fight against Gender-Based Violence to move beyond slogans and awareness campaigns. Anti-GBV organisation The TEARS Foundation says the country can no longer afford what it calls “symbolic activism,” arguing that failing systems and poor accountability are letting survivors down. The organisation is now calling for a complete overhaul of the structures meant to combat GBV, and says responsibility for tackling the crisis should no longer rest with government leaders who have failed to deliver meaningful results.  Guest: Celeste Louw: General Manager Operations at TEARS Foundation
