What does real action against gender based violence actually look like?
In this episode of Voices of Change, Heidi Giokos speaks to researcher and GBV expert Lisa Vetten about South Africa’s decision to declare gender-based violence a national disaster and whether the country is building the systems needed to truly protect women and children.
The conversation explores survivor safety, institutional accountability, prevention, social services, housing support and the importance of long-term interventions that move beyond crisis language and public outrage.
Vetten explains why meaningful change depends on practical action, sustained attention and stronger support systems for those most at risk.
