Boss Babes of South Africa joins Women for Change to confront South Africa’s GBV crisis
The digital empowerment movement calls for national solidarity, corporate accountability, and urgent reform as it steps into a unified front against gender-based violence.
Boss Babes of South Africa, the fast-growing digital women’s empowerment movement founded by Sandton-based chartered accountant and social advocate Kovini Moodley, has announced its support for Women for Change and a coalition of civil society organisations pushing for urgent nationwide action against gender-based violence (GBV) and femicide.
The partnership aligns with high-impact campaigns such as the G20 Women’s Shutdown and signals a renewed push for systemic accountability across both public and private sectors.

Moodley said the country can no longer afford complacency.
“Our fight is only as powerful as the community that stands behind it. Every story shared, every message amplified, and every ally who speaks up adds to the force needed for real change.”
South Africa recorded more than 40 000 rapes this year, placing it among the highest globally.
Moodley argues that these figures reflect deep structural inequality and a broader erosion of social cohesion.
As a risk expert, she has also spotlighted corporate GBV, retaliation, intimidation, and emotional abuse that women often face after raising ethical or professional concerns.
Drawing on her own workplace experience, she said the silence surrounding this form of abuse continues to harm women across industries.
“Retaliation remains normalised. Speaking up should never put anyone’s livelihood or mental health at risk.”
Boss Babes of South Africa is preparing collaborations with labour specialists, psychologists, and psychiatrists to support women navigating corporate GBV.

Moodley is also set to release a documentary, Corporate GBV, which examines misuse of power, compliance failures, and toxic workplace cultures.
“Workplaces must become psychologically safe. Leaders shape culture. If 2025 teaches us anything, it’s that accountability must be non-negotiable.”
The Boss Babes community and its partners will support the Women for Change national campaign on November 21.
