This non-profit organization is dedicated to promoting mental health and combating gender-based violence. Through awareness campaigns, support services, and advocacy, the foundation aims to create a society where mental well-being is prioritized and violence is eradicated.<\/p>\n

Tshepiso James Kwakwa, the Founder of the NGO, spoke to Radio Islam International to share more about their impactful work.<\/p>\n

Emphasizing the urgency of the fight against Gender-Based Violence, Kwakwa stated, “When we look at the situation, particularly in our local communities, it’s clear that we have a long road ahead in this battle.”<\/p>\n

Kwakwa emphasized that the awareness campaigns and talks around Gender Based Violence are weaving a significant impact, and there is winning. However, he said there are issues still arising amongst the local communities.<\/p>\n

Following the release of the second-quarter crime statistics for 2023\/2024, in SA, there’s been the following reported cases of GBV: 10 516 rapes, 1 514 attempted murder and 14 401 assaults. These alarming statistics represent a significant threat to the safety and well-being of South Africans, indicating a high prevalence of gender-based violence and other serious crimes.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it’s crucial to be concerned about the situation, as it directly impacts communities and their lives. The Big Brother Hug Foundation believes that implementing accessible educational programs is not just a step forward but a powerful tool. These programs aim to empower individuals with knowledge and tools to combat these issues, contributing to a safer environment for all.<\/p>\n

“We firmly believe that education is a potent tool that can nurture a generation that values respect, empathy, and equality,” Kwakwa affirmed, instilling hope for a future free from Gender-Based Violence.<\/p>\n
