In case you missed it: Tales of Turning Webinar National Strategic Plan on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide: Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence
This webinar we discussed the National Strategic Plan on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide in relation to the prevention of technology-facilitated gender-based violence against women leaders, journalists, peacebuilders and feminist organisations. This is important because technology-facilitated gender-based violence is an extension of offline violence which results in social, political and personal harm.
Watch the recording of this webinar to catch up on the conversation.

Resource: Violence Prevention Forum 19 Report
On the 18th of July, the Violence Prevention Forum hosted its 19th meeting via Zoom. This meeting took the form of a workshop where our collective goal was to develop a set of criteria to define violence prevention interventions. This online workshop was the first step towards creating a ranking matrix for use by national and provincial departments of Social Development. Participants contributed to the development of a tool that will guide the prioritization of funding for prevention interventions, in line with the draft Sector Funding Policy's proposal for a proportion of provincial funds to be allocated for prevention- related programmes. |
