The Purple movement takes over South Africa

The recent Women For Change campaign is a powerful example of online activism in action. In response to the alarming rise in Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) in South Africa, the movement launched a national call for GBVF to be declared a national disaster. Within a week, South Africans turned their social media profiles purple in solidarity, and more than one million people signed the petition urging the government to act. As part of its commitment to this cause, the fray group will provide free training to civil society organisations addressing GBVF and to journalists reporting on the issue, while also sharing advocacy resources to strengthen public engagement.
