Girls Against Oppression

See how you can listen to voices of more marginalised people instead of speaking over them - very demure, very mindful.

Instead of going for SAPS and your political leaders, you're going for Miss SA?? Loool you have a looooong way to go if you think the people fucking SA over is a Miss SA organization.

You're telling me you saw the horrific statistics posted by a South African organisation & said yes, now is the time for xenophobia?

Every 29 seconds a woman is r*ped in South Africa. That's approximate 2 women a minute, 120 women an hour & 2880 a day.

@ShebaFeminine @mindfulorgsa Thank you! 🩷

To celebrate YOUTH MONTH we’re highlighting 3 Youth-led organisations fighting to make a sustainable difference in South Africa ! 🇿🇦 In this blog we feature: 🌸 @thisisgao 🌸 African Climate Alliance 🌸 @mindfulorgsa tinyurl.com/mr3t5z3y #youthmonth #shebafeminine

DO NOT engage with any 'Gcinile Twala' social media account, as Gci has deactivated herself and has NO OTHER profiles. Any other account is FAKE. DO NOT engage with any content from Grootman. Instead, REPORT his account! We need to stop giving him attention. Narcissistic men adore attention. Do not engage! Gci is safe, and she is taking legal steps. We are getting support from the Film and Publication Board (Content Regulatory Authority of South Africa) 🙏 and the matter will be handled the way it should be, legally and in court. The most important thing is to keep Gci, her child, and her family safe and get justice for them. We will not share more details for now.

Inspiring discussions at the #TeensHealthFair on the intersection of power dynamics and sexual/reproductive health rights education. Vital conversations around addressing #SexualViolence.

#Bolt safety ALERT! A group in Table View was allegedly stabbed by a driver. This is UNACCEPTABLE! @bolt_southafrica MUST prioritize passenger safety. #NotMyFault Stop victim blaming - focus on driver's violence! #SupportSurvivors

Reading this whole thread and the voice note gave me chills. NO MEANS NO. Also, the justice system in SA is so fractured, what do you mean there's no case???

But ignorance is also hindrance to social change - this study honestly isn't the first of it kind & shouldn't be weaponised as a "the world is falling apart so why should I even bother". Read this & use it as motivation to push hard against oppressive structures (5).

As cliché as it may seem "ignorance is bliss" (4).

Ignoring the fact that woke is in air quotes; well obviously. Acknowledging how inequitable & violen the world can be is angering and distressing. (1)

This International Women’s Day, we ask you to envision a South Africa where every single survivor of sexual violence has access to comprehensive care and support. How can you help make this a reality? ⬇️
