Purpose

​

This is a collaborative and reliable informative space on how to spread awareness and go beyond social media activism; to help shed a light on those whose systematic oppressions have been magnified by South Africa's Covid-19 Lockdown. It is important to understand that race and class are intersectional in South Africa; meaning that the poorer you are the harder it is for you to be able to exercise your constitutional rights.

 

Unfortunately, the Black majority are amongst the poorest individuals in South Africa followed by the Coloured population; which has led to them bearing the consequences of increased military and police surveillance in low income areas. Additionally, the increased numbers in Gender Based Violence, immigrant and LGBTQIA+ silencing have illustrated that there are many gaps in our society which we all can help fix.

 

It is important that those who have the privilege or means to send emails, sign petitions and give money to fundraisers do so. It is time that all South Africans- Black, White, Colored, Indian, Mixed-Raced and Asian come together to uplift the voices of the voiceless.
