Feminist group pickets in Ekurhuleni amid surge of GBV incidences

Black Womxn Caucus is demanding justice for the women that have been found dead across Ekurhuleni

The Feminist movement's Black Womxn Caucus, along with other organizations, has launched a protest outside Kempton Park police station in Ekurhuleni. The groups are urging authorities to take immediate action to safeguard women and ensure those responsible for the recent increase in women's murders are apprehended and held accountable.

Since July, nine women's bodies have been discovered in the East of Johannesburg. The protest comes as part of a growing concern over the escalating violence against women in the Ekurhuleni region.
