CSVR 16 Days of Activism campaign asks, ‘What Does Justice for GBV Mean for You?’

AS THE global community marks the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) has launched a bold public engagement initiative under the banner: “What Does Justice for GBV Mean for You?” This initiative, to be published on this page from next week Friday, invites South Africans and Africans across the continent to reflect, engage, and contribute to a deeper, more inclusive understanding of what justice truly means for survivors, families, and communities affected by gender-based violence and violence against women and girls in particular.

e campaign aims to expand the justice perceptions beyond the courtroom, challenging the narrow assumption that justice is achieved only through convictions. Instead, CSVR’s campaign encourages society to consider the full spectrum of justice:

+ Social Justice - dismantling the harmful norms, inequalities, and power dynamics that sustain violence.
