Durban women unite against gender-based violence
Tamsyn Allison, who spearheaded the movement, said women should not be blamed for acts of gender-based violence.
ABOUT 100 women took to the steps of the Durban City Hall last night to express their anger at the recent killings of women and children in South Africa.
The women, and a few men, gathered to call for an end to gender-based violence that has left South Africans reeling.
The gathering was spearheaded by Durban North resident, Tamsyn Elaine Allison who told the crowd waving placards and shielding candles that: “If men cannot stop themselves from raping us, they must stay home behind a locked door. They must go out with permission with cameras with trackers,” she said.
Allison said women should not be blamed for acts of gender-based violence.
“It is not my responsibility to keep spending money to go to police stations to beg for protection to save my life,” she added.
