A youth empowerment programme uniting MUT, DUT and UKZN students in Durban against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide.
The GBVF Summit & Marathon is a youth empowerment programme uniting MUT, DUT and UKZN students in Durban in a three-day immersive experience designed to educate, advocate, and activate change against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide.
From expert-led panels to a city-wide awareness run, every element is designed to move people — emotionally and literally — toward a safer South Africa.
"Silence and neutrality in the face of injustice and gender-based violence only empower the perpetrators."
Every element of this programme is designed around measurable impact — creating change that outlasts the event itself.
Students respond best to peer-driven prevention education and activism, creating stronger impact across campuses.
Joint programming ensures shared reporting tools, coordinated campaigns, and larger community mobilisation reach.
Running and wellness activities improve mental health, decrease stress, and reduce risky behaviours linked to GBV.
Uniting universities with SAPS, NGOs, psychologists, and local government strengthens survivor support systems.
Committed institutions and organisations united in ending GBV and Femicide across South Africa.
Dedicated leaders coordinating across universities, communities, and institutions to drive real change.
