Three women from Willowmore discuss how difficult it is to overcome the long-lasting trauma that is caused by gender-based violence. From marriages affected by rape to how their kids suffer, this film goes into detail about how abuse has impacted their relationships later in life.

Facing GBV – Part 6 is the 6th part of a 6-part series highlighting South Africa’s “second pandemic”: gender-based violence. In conjunction with the 16-days of Activism campaign, Street Talk TV strives to highlight the truths behind domestic violence and crimes against women. Special thanks to the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives.

This film was produced by Street Talk.
