To mark the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism, Sol Plaatje University invites you to a virtual public lecture on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide which will be delivered by Professor Thuli Madonsela on Thursday, 12 November 2020.<\/p>\n
Amidst the COVID-19 global pandemic, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that South Africa was experiencing yet another pandemic \u2013a gender-based violence pandemic. It is thus evident that we live in a country where gender-based violence is pervasive and women and children remain vulnerable victims due to gender inequalities and the persistence of patriarchy. This is aggravated for LGBTQIA+ communities as they face discrimination and violent stigmas that further entrenches their marginalisation.<\/p>\n
Professor Madonsela will discuss the impact these forms of violence have on different communities and society as a whole. She will further deliberate and share thoughts on legislative and other initiatives that can curb this escalating crisis.<\/p>\n
The online lecture will be preceded by a Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Exhibition set up by third-year Heritage Studies students on Central Campus at 15:00.<\/p>\n
Details on the lecture are as follows:<\/p>\n
