HUMAN RIGHTS

Human rights mean the right to good health, a dignified life, and respect for the will of everyday people.

If someone needs to express their gender in a way that is different, that is okay. They don’t deserve to be victims of violence. If you are uncomfortable with it, then you need to look at yourself.

What Director Say About Human rights

Breaking the silence around gender-based violence

Pinky Ngewu Director

The link between gender-based violence and HIV as both a cause and consequence of HIV is increasingly recognized. Studies show that women living with HIV are particularly vulnerable to sexual, physical and psychological violence, reporting violations of their sexual and reproductive rights, including coerced abortion and forced sterilization. Addressing gender-based violence is therefore critical to preventing new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths.

Gender-based violence is widespread in across the country including us in South Africa. This type of violence is often invisible, as it frequently happens behind closed doors. Many survivors remain unknown and forgotten, hidden away in a society where gender-based violence generates a sense of shame among the victims, rather than among the perpetrators.
