Gender based violence ain't no child's play, it damages ones life emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It makes one ask themselves so many questions that can never be answered. Even if one day you can heal  from being raped, there is always something that will find it's way to trigger the pain again. Gender base violence doesnt involve 🤬 only, it also involves physical abuse and so many other thing.

Yes indeed abusing woman and children is just a normal thing these days. The reason why man are still doing such cruel things is that our justice in South Africa is too week.  For an example a man can 🤬🤬 a child and get sentenced for 15 years, but you will see that particular person out within 2 months. According to my opinion the death sentence needs to be implemented again so that people can stop doing such evil things.

Harmful Gender Norms. Gender stereotypes and are often used to justify violence against women. Hunger. Just as empowering women can help eliminate hunger, food scarcity also leads to increased gender-based violence , lastly being War and conflict

If the death penalty were to be returned ,let's face the truth ,many things would disappear but with that innocent blood will be spilt and families will lose dear ones that did nothing. The world might plunge into eternal darkness. Sometimes the so called victims turn into the culprits and frame men. This would cause deaths of many innocent ppl. There are already cases of men being released from jail after 20 years because they were wrongfully accused of raping ppl. Now if there are cases like these ,why wouldn't there be deaths caused by this. Get my point. But men are not the only culprits of GBV ,I'm a woman and I do stand with men in other cases coz women do take advantage of societal norms. Men also get abused but are always afraid to speak up for themselves. That's all because of society

Gender-based violence is a phenomenon that must and should stop, without women we have no future.  If we can get to the root of the problem but how??... when the current generation  learns small behaviors from their parents. So some young boys will see how badly women are treated and continue with the sad treatment when they grow up .Which is why I say that if we can find a way to root it out in our generation we can seriously decrease the statistics of these cases and save a lot of female lives.

In South Africa, the chances of putting a stop to gender based violence will never come. Mainly because most people who are suffering from gender based violence will never be able to speak out. It's either women are afraid that they will be abused more or men that is afraid that they will be seen as a coward. No matter how hard we try to put a end to gender based violence , at the end of the day it's all on the victim. Because if they cant see that they need help how can we step in an help them.

I honestly do not think that gender based violence will ever end mostly here in South Africa. People are scared to voice out that they are being abused because the justice system of South Africa is very weak justice is not served . Killing and raping people here in south Africa is no longer a sin, people kill and 🤬 people each and every day and still get away with it. We as South African citizens we need to support all the victims without judging them.

Gender based violence is cruelty, It reduces self love and self esteem. Women should be protected by all costs and taken as a priority.

There was a case of a man who raped his 20-month-old baby, like who does that?.......
There is obviously a sickness in this society that needs to be dealt with. GBV is a phenomenon deeply rooted in gender inequality and ,continues  to be one of the most notable human rights violations within all societies.
South Africa is a society where violence has become normalized, where women and children have been dehumanized and that must stop! We live in fear of being raped, of being killed by people whom we trust. We are afraid of being the next victims. Let's end the culture of silence around GBV. But how when our own justice system is failing us?.....So I say that the death penalty should be implemented .
