Gender based violence was/is a norm amongst Black families and it stems from patriarchal ideals and traumatic events! Know your history and be the change! PasopNegra shows alot about her family history in this text. #bhm2022 #BLACKHISTORYMONTH2022 #StopGBV #createawareness #bhm https://www.instagram.com/p/CZzRnjrInAt/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Physical Abuse Of Cyan Boujee

Cyan Boujee who is an influencer and DJ,recently took to her Instagram that she was physically abused by the owner of the venue where she was doing a gig.She also shared a photo of her face which is very hurt.

I won't get much into detail but what I wanna say is that STOP GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE.Women are also important and deserve to be treated with respectA women is also a human being and not a punching bag.I would also like to encourage women to speak up.Do not be oppressed.By speaking out you will also be encouraged women to say NO.

STOP GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Remembering the loved ones we lost and remembering a time when the South African government wanted to be sure of the safety and efficacy of ARVs before embarking on a roll-out. Remembering a time when a health minister was pushing nutrition and non-pharmaceutical alternatives. Remembering a time when some human rights mattered more than the health of the nation. We are celebrating the advocacy efforts of civil society organizations, such as the TAC. The brave and bold steps of NGOs and people like Sr Alison Munro to start rolling out ART Clinics even in the most remote villages of this land when our government was still weighing its options. Celebrating the success of PMTCT, it is often downplayed. May we always remember that the only way to stop the spread of HIV is to be responsible. Getting tested, taking ARVs, seeking prophylaxis if you are possibly exposed, adhering to treatment even if going to the clinic is not a good experience. Being responsible also entails Ending GBV, in particular sexual assault. Treating an unknown HIV status as HIV+, applying universal precautions always. Let's keep the goal in mind, to end AIDS by 2030. It is doable. #AnAIDSFreeGeneration #EndAIDS #StopGBV #StopTheSpreadOfHIV https://www.instagram.com/p/CW7RL5UqQMj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just finished watching The Wife episodes 7-9 on @showmaxonline. Listen, the red flags you ignore will surely catch up with you. All the signs were there. From the time Mqhele disrespected passengers just to have an ice cream date with Hlomu, to the stalking, beating up Sandile, everything has been pointing to Mqhele's character being flawed. That's the thing about whirlwind romances. These episodes were about Nqoba and Mandisa's dysfunctional relationship. It fascinates me that people who simingly uphold and value culture are the very same people who desecrate it. Perhaps I am biased as a woman, but when a man has to be forced to pay damages for a child they claim to love, it just confuses me. Much like someone who spends all their money on booze when they know full well that they have kids with an unemployed woman. Had Mandisa not changed Ndumiso's surname on the birth certificate, things wouldn't have been rectified culturally. This whole thing of being in a long term relationship with someone and even having kids together with No intention of ever marrying that person is pure evil. It's not a woman's duty or her family's for that matter to ensure that you do right by her and the child. Things have gotten so messed up and somehow the mess has become the norm. Manipulation and love potions have become common practice in relationships because men are allowed and even celeebrated for using and abusing women. The Zulu brothers could be forgiven because they grew up without parents and had only Nkosana (with his own traumas) to guide & protect them. For those who grew up with both parents in a loving marriage, what's your excuse for the messed up things you put women through? Women abuse in all forms must be condemned with the contempt it deserves. Let's have a conversation about this. It's the only way to #StopGBV. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWsg15yqG5v/?utm_medium=tumblr

3 more episodes (Episodes 4-6) were made available on @showmaxonline from 5am on the 18th November 2021. Made the mistake of assuming that I would watch #thewifeshowmax at midnight, kept on restarting my phone because I didn't know about the 5am thing. Imagine wasting your night time data on some other stuff because at 5am, it expires🙄🙆🏿 Anyway, the violence on this batch of episodes is on another level. On par with the reality of the taxi-owners' world. Nkosana kills Majola, and Mqhele kills the body guards... Sambulo does a solo job, killing a few more guards/hitmen in the Majola camp. Hlomu gets attacked covering a protest, and the Zulu brothers cause chaos at the hospital. In Hlomu's shoes, I would have felt trapped. Imagine what could have happened if she wasn't attracted to Mqhele 🤔. I am so worried that this series is normalizing toxic male behavior. I feel like a conversation needs to be had after each airing. We're missing out on teachable moments. The first visit to the Zulu house is not even a discussion, it just happened and Hlomu is acting like it's normal behavior for someone to take you to their gun-crazed, testosterone-filled home without your permission. I can't help but think about what would have happened if Hlomu didn't want to be there. The violent bullying of Dr Sandile into leaving his home left a bitter taste in my mouth. Fine, take his fiance but don't throw him out and beat him up. The man did absolutely nothing wrong. This hooligan behavior should not be glorified and this stereotype about black men need not be reinforced. It makes for great television but beyond that, it is damaging. Hlomu losing her virginity was too much for me to watch, the dialogue made me cringe and the scene was too explicit for my liking. We didn't need to see her boobs. @stainedglasstv1 don't mind me, I am a prude. There was plenty of entertainment value in these 3 episodes, I am just worried about the possible unintended and undesirable after effects. It would do everyone a boatload of good to be proactive in mitigating the negative impact of this storyline. We still need to #StopGBV and to educate society about consent and accepting a NO.
