“It’s not that we don’t know it’s abuse, we just don’t feel safe to speak.” That reflection says everything. This silence is about fear, shame, survival. Let’s make room for truth, healing, and youth-led leadership. 💜

📍In Stellenbosch, learners are leading. From breaking the silence on GBV and IPV to naming consent and harm with clarity; these young voices are powerful. We’re proud to hold space for honest conversations and real youth leadership. 💜

“Patriarchy is a societal problem.” It shows up everywhere; in policies, homes, silences, jokes, headlines. This reflection asks: How do we name it? How do we resist it?

⚠️ TW: Gender-based & intimate partner violence 🎥 “Intervening in GBV isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just refusing to look away.”

🌿 “Remembering is part of healing.” We held a beautiful Learner Heritage Healing Walk with Rosendaal High School learners in Delft, guided by Lucy and Melissa from Transcending History Tours. Walking together, we reflected on how our histories live in land, body, and memory.

Youth Day may have passed, but the work lives on. Last week during #ChildProtectionWeek, HSSP joined local leaders and young people to ask: how do we protect our youth in real, lasting ways?

Every consultation is a conversation. At Kujali House, inclusive, person-centred care meets the art of healing. From chronic care to affirming GP services for queer and trans communities, this is how we rebuild health with dignity.

🌱 New roots online! The Queer Food Growing Collective now has a home at queerfgc.com 💻🌈 A living archive of our work, land-based healing, and collective care.

Happy #YouthDay From 1976 to #FeesMustFall, young people have been at the forefront of resistance risking everything to demand dignity, justice, and a future worth living for.

Our 1st beneficiary @triangleprojectngo.bsky.social says this has been vital- "the sustainability of LGBTQIA+ organisations in S. Africa is increasingly under threat. It will strengthen our trans research & advocacy efforts, especially as we confront a growing anti-rights and anti-gender backlash."
