Attendees wore black, white, and red, the designated colours for the event, which represented equality.

The community came together to show solidarity against GBV, with the support of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality Ward 19 and Women’s Ministries.

An attendee, Thembi Mkhize, commented, “It was powerful to see so many people come together to say ‘enough is enough’ to violence in our communities. It reminded me that we all have a role to play in creating a safer society.”

SDA Church member Mamsie Sekamogeng said, “We were thrilled with the turnout and the enthusiasm of participants. The walk sent a clear message to our community that we will not tolerate any form of violence. We hope to continue this conversation and take action to protect and empower our community members.”
