As V-Girls, we have the right to peaceful public protest, the right to raise our voices. We refuse to ignore the 1 in 3 statistic and we refuse to become imune to the multitudes of stories of violation, rape and abuse that touch us, our friends and our African sisters. Hundreds of V-Girls, and brave V-Guys too, from all corners of Gauteng, met at Constitution Hill and marched to Newtown. Despite the sweltering heat wave they managed to chant, sing and dance while climbing the steep hills through meandering traffic. V-Campaigners have given birth to a mass movement. The V-Cause is marching on...Viva VeVolution!
“V-Girls SA is an anti-violence movement which shatters taboo’s and addresses issues affecting girls in society. We have formed a network of girl activists and advocates empowering themselves and others to create the change they imagine for the world”. - Busi Mkhumbuzi, V-Girls Action Leader in South Africa
