The theme for 2022 #breakthebias is based on spreading awareness of Gender Based Violence (GBV) where people share their personal experiences and knowledge of GBV on social media addressing the challenges women still face and the progress of some of the female-based issues in South Africa.Â
One of the topical issues that woman face in South Africa is GBV.
Gender-Based violence refers to harmful acts directed at an individual based on their gender. It is rooted in gender inequality, the abuse of power and harmful norms. GBV is a serious violation of human rights and a life-threatening health and protection issue.
In connection with International Woman’s Day this month and with Human Right’s Day coming up, we will be using #breakthebias in order to spread awareness of GBV and show our support to those who have survived.
To show your support share an image crossing your arms and tag @ovationsgroup with the hashtag #breakthebias.
