BLACK QUEER DOCX

On Friday, 21 November 2025, South African women will silence the nation.

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, homes, and communities 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!

Join the G20 Women’s Shutdown. Withdraw Your Power on 21 November. Spread the message across South Africa and beyond. Let’s show the world the power of women.

Join us for an online dialogue on legal strategies to challenge hate speech and hate crimes in Botswana. As anti-rights rhetoric and violence rise across the region, we’re bringing together community voices and legal expertise to equip activists and civil society with the tools to respond.
