Women for Change, a nonprofit organization, is making progress in combating genderbased violence and femicide in South Africa, despite financial challenges. Their advocacy and support for survivors have helped create a supportive community and garnered nearly 400,000 followers on social media. However, funding deficits threaten the organization’s survival, but a BackaBuddy campaign has garnered support from over 183 unique donors. While progress has been made, the increasing rates of femicide and GBV remind us of the work that remains.
