EMPOWERING WOMEN TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE BEYOND 2020

In the wake of the global pandemic, a murky ‘shadow pandemic’ has emerged from which no country is immune. Violence and abuse against women and girls have been intensified by security, health and financial concerns, and compounded by the lockdown measures in many countries. President Cyril Ramaphosa faced the ugly truth when he stated, “As a country, we find ourselves in the midst of not one, but two, devastating pandemics. Although very different in their nature and cause, they can both be overcome – if we work together, if we each take personal responsibility for our action and if we each take care of each other.” As the number of Covid-19 infections rises in South Africa, the impact on women is becoming more obvious.
