WiCDS is closed on 21 November in support of the Women's Shutdown
-
On Friday 21 November, WiCDS will be closed in solidarity with the G20 Women's Shutdown.
We call on all women and members of the LGBTQI+ community across South Africa to refrain from all paid and unpaid work in workplaces, universities, and homes, and to spend no money for the entire day to demonstrate the economic and social impact of their absence. Because until South Africa stops burying a woman every 2.5 hours, the G20 cannot speak of growth and progress.
We demand that gender-based violence and femicide be declared a national disaster. Not tomorrow. Not at another summit. Now.
