STREET TALK
Facing Gender Based Violence (Part 1) — Social and systematic obstacles preventing women from escaping violence
Rape, physical abuse, and emotional torture – women who go through abuse face these experiences every day. We sympathise, we raise awareness, but do we really know what they go through? In this powerful film, a group of women from Eerste Rivier come forward and share their stories about facing gender-based violence in South Africa.
Facing GBV — Part 1 is the first part of a 6 part series. With special thanks to the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, the City of Cape Town’s Social Development and Early Childhood Development Department Areas East, and Fatima Mohammed.
This film was produced by Street Talk.
