16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence

PsySSA stands in solidarity with Women for Change and supports the upcoming National Women’s Shutdown.
We affirm the call to end gender-based violence and femicide, and we recognise the profound psychological, social and economic impact this crisis has on communities across
South Africa.
As a society committed to human rights, dignity and social justice, we support peaceful collective action that highlights the value of women’s labour, voices and leadership.
This shutdown is more than a protest — it is a demand for justice, accountability, and the right of every person to live free from fear.
South Africa cannot thrive while its women are unsafe.
