On 13 September 2019, a powerful protest action, the #SandtonShutdown, took place at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, calling for the corporate sector to take responsibility in the fight against gender-based violence (GBV). Organised by civil society groups, including Rise Up Against GBV, this demonstration demanded collaboration between the private sector, government, and CSOs to secure vital funding for GBV initiatives. The video captures the energy of the protest, showcasing the voices of those who will not remain silent. Through photographic and video footage, the event brings attention to the urgent need for societal change. #SilenceIsNotAnOption #IWillNotBeNext
