Mobilising for Gender Justice and Human Rights

The South African constitution guarantees equality for women and the LGBTQIA+
community as well as the right to freedom from violence, and access to socio-
economic rights such as housing, land, health and fair labour practices.

The high and ongoing incidence of rape, the perpetuation of rape culture, as well as
other forms of physical and psychological violence against women, girls and the
LGBTIQA+ community represent a profound social challenge affecting communities
across the South African society. Our efforts to build peaceful, interconnected and
cohesive communities across the country must be cognizant of the dire need to
address challenges facing the most vulnerable in society, centering women, children
and the LGBTIQA+ community.

With respect to the afore-mentioned, it is incumbent upon us to create enabling
spaces for conversations that will ultimately propel meaningful action aimed at
creating an inclusive and equitable society. ACTIVATE! Change Drivers and the
Institute for Justice and Reconciliation are committed to creating platforms for
critical discourse on pertinent issues affecting communities across the country.

Join us on this webinar as we engage with youth who are playing a role in
exercising efforts directed towards a gender just society.
