I may be a teenager, but GBV is a serious matter in our country. It requires everyone and anyone to act. Our women are the pillars of our society. They give birth to life and nurture us. No woman or child in South Africa should be threatened or abused by anyone. Only cowards are bullies. We are a nation of heroes and dreamers, we achieve together. And together, especially the men and boys, we can cut the tumour of Gender Based Violence in our Republic. Let's act as one, here I am, a 15 year old, playing my part.

There can be no doubt that the women of our nation are the backbone of our communities. They are the grandmothers, mothers, sisters and friends who nurture our fledgling nation. It is is absolutely vital that we care for and nurture the soul of our nation. We strive for greater equality and the dignity of all, however, we cannot stand by while the scourge of gender-based violence is allowed to run rampant in our thoughts and hearts and it goes without saying into our communities as well. We need to nurture the respect that our women deserve.
