Скачать или смотреть South Africa Declares GBV a National Disaster

South Africa has taken an unprecedented step by officially declaring Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) a national disaster under the Disaster Management Act — a move activists have demanded for years. In this episode, Felicity Ezewuike speaks with leading voices in the sector, Sibongile Samsam of Uncedo Lwethu Foundation and Fatima Mamod of the National Shelter Movement, to unpack what this declaration truly means. Does it unlock new legal powers, funding, protection systems, and accountability, or could it be another symbolic gesture with little impact? With nationwide protests, rising femicide cases, and a public petition of more than one million signatures, the pressure on the government has never been higher. This conversation breaks down the implications for survivors, policing, justice, social attitudes, prevention strategies, and the future of GBVF response in South Africa.
