This comes from a financial news TV channel which is looking for women who are or were unable to earn a living because of domestic or gender-based violence, or women who were not given support in the workplace to deal with a violent partner (e.g. time off of work to go to court etc).
A recent KPMG study has put a monetary value to the hurt and suffering that many women in this country face on a daily basis. A financial news channel wants to highlight this plight and put a face to those numbers to show their viewers, who are mostly high powered men, that GBV is not a private issue and is something that needs to be addressed consciously because it does impact the economy. They need brave women to come forward and share their stories about how GBV affected their lives.
Please email info@genderjustice.org.za with the subject line “Available for television interview” if you are a woman who’s been financially impacted by gender-based violence and would like to share your story.
