Genderbased violence (GBV) is a severe issue in South Africa, where domestic violence affects one in four women. The role of media in promoting respect, equality, and nonviolence is crucial to address this issue. However, recent events have highlighted the need for media houses to act responsibly in their portrayal of GBV.
The Dalai Lama is one of the most recognized spiritual leaders in the world, renowned for his teachings on compassion, nonviolence, and the importance of inner peace. He was born in Tibet in 1935 and was identified as the 14th reincarnation of the Dalai Lama by the age of two. At 15, he assumed political power in Tibet but was forced into exile in India in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule. Since then, he has been a vocal advocate for the rights of Tibetans and has worked tirelessly to promote peace and understanding around the world.
