Why South Africans need to help those Affected by Gender-based Violence

Why South Africans need to help those Affected by Gender-based Violence This website explains the necessity for South Africans to assist persons who are victims of gender-based violence. The UNHCR defines gender-based violence as harmful acts committed against a person based on that person’s gender. Gender inequality, the abuse of power, and harmful social norms and roles are the main causes of gender-based violence. In their lifetime, one in three women are predicted to encounter sexual or physical abuse.

How South Africans are helping those affected by gender-based violence?

There are a number of initiatives and programmes aimed at helping gender-based violence victims and prevention in South Africa:

• Thula Sana: Promote mothers’ engagement in sensitive, responsive interactions with their infants
• The Sinovuyo Caring Families Programme: Improve the parent-child relationship, emotional regulation, and positive behaviour management approaches
• Prepare: Reduce sexual risk behaviour and intimate partner violence, which contribute to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STIs)
• Skhokho Supporting Success: Prevent IPV among young teenagers
• Stepping Stones: Promote sexual health, improve psychological wellbeing and prevent HIV
• Stepping Stones / Creating Futures: Reduce HIV risk behaviour and victimisation and perpetration of different forms of IPV and strengthen livelihoods
• IMAGE (Intervention with Microfinance for AIDS and Gender Equity): Improve household economic wellbeing, social capital and empowerment and thus reduce vulnerability to IPV and HIV infection.

Why helping people affected by Gender-based Violence is Important:

• It prevents more gender-based violence to occur
• It restores confidence of the affected individuals
• It educates the victims on why gender-based violence occured in the first place.
• it rebuilds the society in general

How to respond to Gender-based violence as a person

These are a few phrases that the WISE Collective suggests in responding:

• “I believe you.”
• “I am here for you.”
• “You can tell me as much or as little as you want.”
• “It’s not your fault.”
• “I’m glad you told me.”
