Wise Talk: GBV In Context Of A Lockdown Extension

“There is this preoccupation that you cannot be caught being violent towards your partner,” Brenda Madumise-Pajibo says of a case wherein a perpetrator of GBV shot a law enforcement officer and then himself. In response to this, Onica Makwakwa aptly points out that there are women who are subjected to this violent, often without law enforcement being involved.

In this episode of Wise Talk, Brenda and Onica discuss the rumoured extension of the lockdown measures and the implications of gender-based violence on the existing regulations.
