DESCRIPTION:The Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, Prof Mucha Musemwa, invites you to attend a symposium and panel discussion on Gender-based Violence and Femicide.Gender-based violence and femicide have persisted for far too long, devastating women, girls, families, and communities. Recent tragic cases have underscored the urgent need for collective action.
<br />The Faculty of Humanities is convening a panel on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide and invites the Wits community to attend and participate in this important conversation.
<br />The panel discussion will be opened by Dr Judy Dlamini, Chancellor of the University of the Witwatersrand and then moderated by Prof Moletsane, inaugural holder of the FALF-WITS-NRF Research Chair on GBVF.
<br />The discussion will be anchored by Andy Kawa, renowned human rights advocate, social justice leader, and founder of the Kwanele-Enuf Foundation, and will include panellists from diverse academic disciplines.
<br />The symposium seeks to move beyond dialogue toward practical engagement with the structural, social, cultural, and institutional dimensions of GBVF, and to explore pathways to meaningful action.
