​On Friday, 07 August 2020 the Centre for Sociological Research and Practice and the Department of sociology hosted a webinar, particularly focused on violence against black women’s bodies in post-apartheid South Africa. The online event brought forward issues surrounding gender-based violence (GBV) to reflect on the violence on black women from all levels of society.

The discussion further interrogated the dangers of heteronormativity and toxic masculinity in violence against all women, including those in the LGBTQ community.
