LifeLine Durban gears up for GBVF march
LifeLine Durban invites Durban people to join them for their annual 16 Days of Activism For No Violence Against Women and Children march.
LIFELINE Durban says that GBVF should not be tolerated and calls on the community of Durban to gear up for their upcoming march against this scourge. They are calling on citizens to make room in their calendars for their march for 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children.
LifeLine Durban is a service organisation that responds to emotional trauma and individuals in crisis. Their range of services focuses on giving support and/or developing individuals, enabling them to cope more effectively with the emotional effects of trauma.
The march is scheduled to take place on December 3 at 09:00. The march will depart from King Dinuzulu Park and proceed to Durban City Hall with the aim of raising public awareness, demonstrating solidarity with survivors of violence and reinforcing the collective responsibility of all sectors of society to prevent and eliminate GBVF.

This is an international campaign which is observed annually from November 25 to December 10. It encourages opposition of violence against women and children.
The aim of this campaign is to raise awareness on the negative impact which violence and abuse has on women and children and to permanently rid society of abuse.
According to Operations Manager for Lifeline Durban, Seritha Sewpal, through this march, they seek to amplify the message that ending Gender Based Violence and Femicide cannot be the responsibility of government or organisations alone.
“It requires communities, men and boys, women and girls, institutions and the private sector to work together to create safer communities and a society where everyone can live free from violence, abuse and fear.
“LifeLine Durban calls on members of the public to join the march, raise their voices and demonstrate their commitment to ending GBVF. Together, we can break the silence, challenge violence and turn awareness into meaningful action,” she said.
Sewpal said expected participants are community members, government departments, GBV stakeholders, partner organisations and funders.
