Alice D. Kanengoni Calls for Research to Combat Gender-Based Violence in Tertiary Institutions

Dated: January 22, 2025

In a powerful address during a recent event, Alice D. Kanengoni, the CEO of Southern Africa Trust, emphasized the critical role of research and documentation in shaping norms, behaviors, and policies aimed at ending gender-based violence (GBV) in tertiary institutions. Her remarks were made in the context of Human Rights Day and the ongoing 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign.

Key Takeaways

  • Importance of Research: Kanengoni highlighted that thorough research is essential to understand the dynamics of GBV in educational settings.
  • Influencing Policies: The findings from research can be instrumental in influencing policies that protect students and create safer environments.
  • Collaboration: She called for collaboration among various stakeholders, including educational institutions, government bodies, and civil society organizations.

The Context of the Event

The event took place on December 10, 2024, coinciding with Human Rights Day, a day dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights globally. The 16 Days of Activism campaign, which runs from November 25 to December 10, aims to raise awareness about gender-based violence and mobilize action to end it.

The Role of Tertiary Institutions

Tertiary institutions play a pivotal role in shaping the future leaders of society. Kanengoni pointed out that these institutions must take proactive measures to address GBV, which not only affects the victims but also hinders the overall educational experience and success of students.

Strategies for Ending GBV

Kanengoni proposed several strategies that could be implemented in tertiary institutions to combat GBV:

  1. Conducting Comprehensive Research: Institutions should invest in research to gather data on the prevalence and nature of GBV on campuses.
  2. Developing Support Systems: Establishing support systems for victims, including counseling and legal assistance, is crucial.
  3. Training and Awareness Programs: Regular training sessions for staff and students on recognizing and addressing GBV can foster a more supportive environment.
  4. Policy Development: Institutions should develop clear policies that outline the procedures for reporting and addressing incidents of GBV.

The Call to Action

In her closing remarks, Kanengoni urged all stakeholders to take immediate action to implement these strategies. She emphasized that ending GBV is not just a responsibility of the institutions but requires a collective effort from society as a whole.

Conclusion

Alice D. Kanengoni’s remarks serve as a clarion call for action against gender-based violence in tertiary institutions. By prioritizing research and collaboration, stakeholders can create safer educational environments that empower all students to thrive without fear of violence or discrimination.
