‘Disappointing and questionable’: Women for Change faces backlash over March and March GBV protest comments
March and March founder Jancita Ngobese called out the organisation in a video shared on social media.
Women for Change has encountered criticism after its founder expressed disappointment and concern over March and March's protest against gender-based violence (GBV). Following a post on News24 Instagram, the group's comment questioned the legitimacy of the protest, suggesting that the organization should not take credit for the movement.
In response, Jancita Ngobese, the founder of March and March, stated that their protest aimed to draw attention to the issue, including cases involving children, and that other groups should also be able to organize protests against GBV. Women for Change subsequently defended its position in the comments section, asserting that they do not claim ownership of the GBV movement and that advocacy efforts should focus on ending violence against women, regardless of who is involved in the movement.
