Enough is Enough!
Dr Iqbal Survé argues that preventing femicide requires action from men, stronger public services and greater accountability from government.
The IOL article "Enough is Enough!" highlights the severe issue of femicide in South Africa, which has a femicide rate of approximately nine women per 100,000, significantly higher than the global average. The author, a South African man, expresses deep concern over the recent discovery of multiple women's bodies in Ekurhuleni, emphasizing that these deaths are not isolated incidents but part of a broader crisis.
The article argues that prevention efforts must shift from solely relying on potential victims to also engaging men as active participants in stopping violence against women. It calls for men to challenge abusive behavior, as simply stating a lack of harm is insufficient. The author urges society to take warning signs seriously and address the root causes of femicide by preventing men from becoming perpetrators before the situation escalates to tragic consequences.
