The Presidential GBVF Summit: Accountability, Acceleration and Amplification, NOW! marked a pivotal moment in South Africa’s fight against gender-based violence (GBV) and femicide. Focused on accountability and tangible action, the summit brought together leaders, activists, and organisations from government, civil society, and grassroots movements, emphasising the urgent need for change. The summit produced a series of resolutions aimed at strengthening survivor support services, enhancing data management systems, and addressing the structural drivers of GBV, including patriarchal values. With a collective commitment from all sectors, the summit set the stage for long-term collaboration and tangible progress, striving to create a safer, more equitable future for women, gender non-conforming persons, and other marginalised communities.
