March against the senseless killing of women in Ekurhuleni
The community of Kwa-Thema in Ekurhuleni has marched against the ongoing scourge of gender-based violence. The march comes after the bodies of several women were discovered in the area recently.
Residents, including local leaders and activists, took to the streets to demand justice and increased safety measures for women. The atmosphere was one of grief and anger as participants carried placards and chanted slogans calling for an end to the violence.
We are tired of living in fear. Our sisters, mothers, and daughters are being killed, and it feels like no one is listening. We are here to say enough is enough.
The march serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for government and law enforcement to address the rising rates of femicide in South Africa. Community members have vowed to continue their protests until concrete actions are taken to protect women and hold perpetrators accountable.
