She was more than a statistic.
She was someone's daughter.
Someone's sister.
Someone's mother.
Someone's friend.
Someone's colleague.
Someone's whole world. ❤️🩹
Across South Africa, too many women and girls continue to experience gender-based violence. Behind every number is a human being, a family, a story, and a future that mattered.
Our hearts are with every woman affected, every survivor finding the courage to continue, and every family carrying the pain of losing someone they love.
We cannot allow violence against women to become something we simply grow accustomed to.
We must speak.
We must listen.
We must support.
We must protect.
We must stand together.
**South African women deserve to live without fear.**
As Dr T Seloka, I stand with women across South Africa.
**We remember. We stand together. We refuse to normalise violence against women.**
