Helpful ways to stay safer together: Sexual corruption is abuse of power, not a favour you owe anyone, so name it, document it and reach out for support if someone demands sex in exchange for marks, jobs or services. #16DaysOfActivism #Sextortion

Helpful ways to stay safer together: In South Africa recording your interactions with police can sometimes protect you and support later complaints. If an officer refuses to help or makes you feel unsafe, pressing record can be a powerful step. #16DaysOfActivism #PoliceAccountability

The national womens shutdown showed powerful strength and resilience. It proved people are tired of the pain so many women and children endure. Sixteen Days of Activism is our chance to build on that courage and keep the pressure on the state. #WomensShutdown #16DaysOfActivism

Sixteen Days of Activism 💜 runs from 25 November to 10 December. Linking these dates shows that violence in homes, workplaces, online and in public spaces is a human rights violation that demands justice and accountability. #16DaysOfActivism

Literacy failures, school funding crises and local success stories all point to the same truth: South Africa needs urgent structural reform. Children can learn. Communities are ready. Government must meet them halfway. #RightToRead

One broken city doubled literacy rates through evidence based teaching and committed local leadership. It proves what is possible when communities refuse to wait for government. This is the roadmap our country needs.

The Eastern Cape’s education system cannot survive another blow. More than R4 billion withheld means schools without basics, teachers without resources and learners left behind. Accountability is urgent. Read: https://sa.lrc.org.za/4rmTm84

Some of the money that the province’s education department has retained since 2020 could have funded teacher support, classroom libraries and access to abundant free digital resources, multiple times over

South Africa’s literacy crisis is not destiny. Evidence shows that when children receive structured support and teachers are backed by functioning systems, reading outcomes change dramatically. We owe this to every child.
