#16DaysofActivism spotlight: #GBV at home. According to a UN Women recent report, around 51,000 women & girls were killed by their intimate partner in 2023 alone. Kids who grow in such families also tend to suffer behavioral & emotional disturbances.

#16DaysOfActivism Day 13 spotlight: Name and shame! 🗣️ We need to do more to protect girls and women from all forms of abuse, and put better checks and balances in place to correct media narratives and ensure perpetrators get punished! 💯 #16DaysOfActivism2024 #WeekendVibes

#16DaysOfActivism Day 4 spotlight: #GBV exposure & vulnerability. An estimated 736 million women— 1 in 3 —have been subjected to physical or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both at least once in their life. #16DaysOfActivism2024 #MTVShuga

#16DaysOfActivism Day 2 spotlight - Support survivors with the truth. 💯 A culture of misogyny, false narratives, denial & hypocrisy only aids #GBV perpetrators & enablers. Stand up. Speak up. Fight for a better world for girls and women. 🗣️👸🏾 #16DaysOfActivism2024 #MTVShuga

Earlier in the week we had our Peer Ed refresher training in Khayelitsha where we were joined by Ms. Elinor Sopili, a District Health Promoter, who spoke about HIV prevention and Prep.

The campaign was created in response to the high rates of HIV in South Africa and the need to generate awareness of Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) which reduces your risk of getting HIV to almost zero. Vote for Fairy Prep Mother here 👉🏽: bit.ly/3YvMZTt

Our Fairy PrEP Mother PSA has been shortlisted as a finalist at the 9th Annual #ShortyAwards for Impact!
