Champions Against GBV Pledge

Take the pledge

Make a difference

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and harassment is a human rights issue which infringes on liberty, safety, dignity and wellbeing of individuals. It negatively affects worker engagements, workplace relations, mental and physical health and productivity. Acts of GBV are deeply rooted in social and systematic norms, structures and practices.

As such, we all have a role to play in challenging these norms through active advocacy as social agents of change who strive towards achieving justice and equity. Where we consciously and explicitly acknowledge and undertake our obligation to act peacefully towards achieving the ideals of a truly democratic society.

Through this pledge,I stand in solidarity with anyone and everyone who has been affected by acts of gender-based violence.

I hereby take this pledge to commit myself to being an active agent in society, who will reduce the prevalence of Gender-Based Violence through my actions:

I promise to treat all people with #Dignity and #Respect regardless of their gender, age, race, sexual orientation and beliefs.

I know that violence is not only physical, it can also be emotional, verbal, psychological, financial and I vow not to condone or commit any act of harassment, discrimination, assualt or abuse in any form, directly or indirectly.  

I understand that #MySilence allows for #GBV to occur, therefore I refuse to remain silent or complacent about issues of Gender Based Violence, I know #MyVoice makes a difference.

I am willing to listen without judgement and offer advice or referrals to anyone affected wherever I can, letting them know they are not alone.

I will model positive behavioural attributes to raise our #sons, #daughters and #youth in a climate of #equality. #SaveOurChildren

I will actively promote practices of #GenderEquality in my place of work, free from intimidation and fear.

I know that there is #NoExcuse for abuse.

I am responsible and accountable for my actions.

I am firm in my beliefs and my stance against Gender based violence.

I am a part of #TheConversation.

I am committed to creating and being a part of a better world because #EnoughIsEnough.

I am a Champion Against Gender Based Violence.

We Stand Together united in Solidarity, we are #ChampionsAgainstGBV
