Cape Town - Renewed calls against gender-based violence (GBV) echoed at the gates of Parliament at the weekend.
About 100 people took part in an anti-gender-based violence protest, on Saturday.
Protest organiser and anti-gender-based violence activist from Rondebosch Sascha Wharton-Hood said the protest was a precursor for the handing over of the anti-gender-based violence memorandum on Wednesday, in an effort to mobilise and collectively call for action to be taken.
“The movement appears to be dying, with more and more people becoming apathetic and passive every time another woman, child or LGBTQIA+ person is sexually assaulted, raped or murdered.
