Hundreds of young people dressed in black marched to Union Buildings lawns in Pretoria on Friday to lie down for 15 minutes in silence in demand for the government to declare gender-based violence and femicide GBVF a national crisis.
The march was organised by Women for Change nationwide, which seeks to highlight GBVF as a national crisis that needs to be addressed urgently.
Young men and women with some holding placards titled I am a survivor marched to the lawns of Union Buildings from Paul Kruger Square, in Pretoria CBD.
