SAUCIC calls for stronger collaboration to fight against GBV and femicide! As the country commemorates Women’s Day, South African churches are calling for stronger collaboration to fight against gender based-violence (GBV) and femicide.

The Human Science Research Council (HSRC) said that more than 7 million women experience physical and sexual violence in their lifetime.
The spokesperson of the South African Union Council of Independent Churches (SAUCIC), Pastor Lesiba Kgwele:
“As SAUCIC, we implore women to reject the shackles of patriarchal oppression that have subjugated them over centuries and to demand their rightful places in decision-making processes. A radical social-economic transformation has to empower and affirm them as change agents to drive the development agenda in our communities.”
