Helpful ways to stay safer together: Online abuse is still abuse, so if you are facing threats or harassment on your phone or socials, you can save proof, report it and ask for help you do not have to deal with it on your own. 💜

Tech facilitated gender based violence is when abuse follows you onto your phone and into your online life threats, stalking, image based abuse, doxxing and more. In our latest video we unpack what it looks like and why it matters. 💜

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: No job, mark or reference is worth more than your safety or dignity; you have the right to study and work in spaces free from harassment and pressure. #16DaysOfActivism #EndSexualHarassment

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

⚖️🏛️ On 3 and 4 November 2025 we appeared at the Supreme Court of Appeal as amicus curiae (friend of the court) for UN Special Procedures. The appeal seeks certification against Anglo American SA for lead harms in Kabwe. Access to remedy in the UN Guiding Principles should guide the court.

We welcome an independent inquiry into the Ingonyama Trust Board, but an inquiry alone does not ensure justice. Communities deserve governance and timely refunds after unlawful leases. We will monitor progress, support residents, and press to ensure accountability and dignity for those affected.

Today and tomorrow we are at PILG 2025 at Wits University. Stand with us as we turn legal promises into public accountability. Join the conversations, share the work and support the communities we serve. Details here: lrc.org.za/pilg-2025/
