Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience and achievements of women across South Africa.
We honour every woman who leads with courage, lifts others up and helps create safer, stronger communities. We also celebrate the incredible women of R**e Crisis, whose compassion and commitment make a difference in the lives of survivors every day.
Happy National Women's Day.

More than 1 in 3 South African women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.
This Women's Month, we honour the strength of women while acknowledging the reality that far too many continue to experience violence.
Every survivor deserves to be believed, supported and treated with dignity.

Image-based sexual violence is often called “revenge porn,” but this term doesn’t reflect the full reality of violence in digital spaces.
Understanding it helps us challenge myths and protect consent, privacy, and dignity online.

Myth: R**e doesn't occur in same-sex relationships.
Fact: R**e is not determined by a person's sexual orientation or the gender of those involved. It is determined by the absence of consent.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Rouge R***e, Lady Magnolia, and the entire burlesque team for an incredible 11th Grand Exhibition in support of R**e Crisis.
This beautiful evening of performance and community raised R40,000, contributing to a legacy of over R328,000 in support of survivors since 2015.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Together, we assembled more than 1000 Justice Packs for survivors and their supporters accessing our Court Support services.
Thank you to every volunteer, donor, and supporter who made this year's Mandela Day Justice Pack Drive possible. Your generosity helped turn compassion into meaningful action.
Last Friday, 17 July 2026, we hosted our Mandela Day Justice Pack Drive at the 2U offices in Salt River. Together, we packed more than 1000 Justice Packs for survivors and their supporters accessing our court support services.
Thank you to every volunteer, donor, partner, and supporter who helped make this Mandela Day Justice Pack Drive possible. Your kindness has helped turn compassion into practical care.
Our Mandela Day Justice Pack Drive is taking place in 2 days!
Join us on Friday, 17 July, from 10:00 to 14:00 at the 2U offices (358 Victoria Road, Salt River) to assemble Justice Packs with us.
If you’re driving, underground parking is available via the Dickens Road entrance, where security will guide you to the designated parking area. The venue is also easily accessible by public transport.
Can’t make it in person? You can still support the drive by making a donation. Every contribution helps us provide Justice Packs to survivors and their supporters accessing our court support services.
We’d love to see you there!
