GBVF Petition Handover & Demonstration at the Union Buildings
by Women For Change
Location: Union Buildings, Pretoria
Date: Friday, 11 April 2025
Time: 12pm –4pm
We are taking action. We are demanding change.
Thousands of voices have signed our petition, calling on the South African government to take urgent action against Gender-Based Violence & Femicide (GBVF). But signatures alone are not enough - we need real, tangible commitment. Sign the Petition here.
On 11 April 2025, we will protest at the Union Buildings to hand over our petition to the Presidency and the Department of Women, Youth, and Persons with Disabilities. This demonstration will be a powerful act of solidarity for victims, survivors, and all those affected by GBVF.
Everyone is welcome—every voice matters. Please RSVP to help us estimate the number of supporters attending on the day.
