South Africa is taking steps to address the high rate of genderbased violence (GBV) in its higher education sector. The Department of Higher Education and Training is working with organizations like Higher Health to implement sustainable systems and controls while also targeting men and boys through initiatives like the Transforming MENtalities Summit to modify their attitudes and behavior towards women and girls. Addressing GBV requires a comprehensive approach that targets social, cultural, and structural factors alongside relationships between men and women.
