STREET TALK
Toxic social conditioning serves as ‘fuel’ for gender-based violence perpetrated by men
In this special episode of Street Talk, we hear from men from EziNgcanjini Men’s Project about their relationship with their gender identity, the power struggle between men and women, and the entitlement men have over women. We discuss the question on all of our minds: are our cultural norms the perpetrator of gender-based violence in South Africa?
Facing GBV Part 3 is the third part of a six-part series highlighting South Africa’s “second pandemic”: gender-based violence. In conjunction with the 16 Days of Activism campaign, Street Talk TV strives to highlight the truths behind domestic violence and crimes against women. With special thanks to the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives and the EziNgcanjini Men’s Project.
