Between 25 November (The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 2018) and 10 December (Human Rights Day), the South African government (amongst others) marks 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children. This campaign aims to raise awareness of the ubiquity of violence within households and intimate contexts, which in South Africa is primarily directed against children and against women, female-identifying and non-binary individuals. Dramatic Need works with many vulnerable adults and children using arts-based advocacy and community theatre to build awareness, self-confidence and help them to speak out against abuse and abusers. We also work with boys and young men to encourage them to better communicate and to express their anger and frustrations in a non-violent way. This form of psychosocial care is crucial if intimate partner violence is to be obliterated in future generations. In support of all those who are vulnerable to domestic, intimate and carer-inflicted violence, we will be posting short videos of individuals from all walks of life, from all round the world, highlighting the appalling extent of this problem in South Africa . Please share these videos with people you love. It’s time for awareness and it’s time for change. #16daysofactivism2018 #dramaticneed #creativechange #nomoreviolence #thisneedstochange https://www.tumblr.com/blog/dramaticneed Thank you to @msrazzb 🧡 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrCuZZVg_I0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5kyiin873tbn
