A new generation of South Africans are questioning what freedom means for women and the LGBTQIA+ community. The Break the Silence Movement says it intends on taking conversations about gender-based violence beyond hashtags.
As South Africa wrapped April, the month in which the country commemorates Freedom Day, a group of women are questioning those celebrations when women are not truly free. Known as the so-called Born Free generation, they are challenging what freedom means in South Africa today.
Zaylia Vivienne and Boitumelo Thage gathered with women in Pretoria to share their experiences of gender-based violence and how it still curtails their freedom. They discussed issues of femicide, rape, abuse, and the targeting the LGBTQIA+ community.
