With the alarming rise in the number of women being raped and attacked in South Africa, there has been an increased focus on educating people about gender-based violence. In Diepsloot, a township northwest of Johannesburg, this has become a necessity for all. Kids as young as 3 years old are now aware about what gender-based violence is, how to prevent it, and how to report it if they witness it.

DYP was started by some concerned citizens of Diepsloot who wanted to make a change in their deprived community. They wanted to create awareness among everyone, no matter how young or old they are. Youth leaders came up with this idea and now it is being successfully implemented across Diepsloot. It’s not just a program run by the Youth leaders alone – every school will be running this program and spreading awareness about gender based violence

Gender-based violence is on the rise in South Africa, and it’s an issue that’s not just affecting women but men as well. In fact, it’s estimated that 1 in 3 men have experienced gender-based violence at some point in their lives. So what can be done to end this scourge?

Diepsloot Youth Project has been working tirelessly for over a decade to end gender-based violence and inequality. And their work is paying off – slowly but surely, Diepsloot is becoming a safer place for everyone. Next time you’re out and about in Diepsloot, take a look around – chances are you’ll notice a DYPR project in action, helping to change the community one person at a time.

Gender based violence is a global issue and affects different societies at different levels. It has gripped the slums of Diepsloot, a place where only women live in fear of being victimised by their partners every day. Women here have become so accustomed to gender-based violence that they no longer talk about it out loud, lest someone hears them, and gets offended.

Mostly perpetrated by men who think they can get away with it, or are provoked into committing these crimes when women speak up for themselves, the crime takes on many forms – from verbal harassment to forced sex or even murder. This is why we call on all men to join us in taking a stand against gender-based violence. Because when all women are empowered and safe, then our world will be one where everyone can live in peace.

Diepsloot is a predominantly poor and marginalized area of Johannesburg. Many residents are living with gender-based violence, which can have devastating effects on the victim’s mental health and overall wellbeing. The Diepsloot Youth Project aims to change these trends by providing education and support to those affected by this violence.

Through education on safe sex, consent, and communication, they are teaching young people about how these issues affect them in school. They also provide emotional support through HIV/STI testing, counseling sessions, awareness campaigns, and community events.

Gender-based violence has been a major issue in South Africa for many years. But, it is only recently that its prevalence has been acknowledged and acknowledged properly. It is estimated that one in three women experience some form of gender-based violence in South Africa – and Diepsloot youth project (DYP) wants to change that.

In Diepsloot, an impoverished community northwest of Johannesburg, gender-based violence has become so common that it’s almost considered normal. That’s why DYP is working towards changing the perception around the issue, helping women realize their strength and power through workshops and gatherings held every Saturday morning at their community center. They are also working with NGOs to try and end the cycle of violence by educating people about what gender-based violence really entails so they can be better prepared if they ever find themselves a victim of it. And finally, each Saturday morning gathers around 200 people from all walks of life to raise awareness about various social issues like gender inequality, financial literacy, HIV/AIDS education, nutrition, etc.
