Fight Against Gender Based Violence In South Africa
Gender-based violence is one of the greatest scourges of our time. It affects all South Africans, sparing no race or class community.
In honour of Women’s Month, the first edition of the Sunday Times Dialogues, brought to you by Brand South Africa, will include five experts on the subject – from law-enforcement and non-governmental organisations to policy-makers and activists – to ascertain what is being done about it.

- Mbuyiselo Botha – commissioner, Commission for Gender Equality
- Dr Lesley Ann Foster – executive director, Masimanyane Women’s Rights International
