Gender-based violence is generally a major concern in the country and the university in particular. Kovsies have a zero-tolerance towards any acts of violence.
We encourage the UFS community to break the silence so that perpetrators are brought to book. To abusers, we say: stop the violence! One of our students opens up about her experience in the video below.
We encourage others to Report gender-based violence, Sexual Harassment and any act of prejudice or discrimination to the Sexual Assault Response Team on

 The University of the Free State academic, Prof. Wijnand J. Swart (pictured), of the Centre for Plant Health Management, is one of the six South African scientists who will embark on an exploratory visit to Mexico from 16-30 August 2008. The visit will be facilitated by the National Research Foundation, the implementing agency for the Department of Science and Technology (DST), in conjunction with the Mexican Embassy. The purpose of the visit is to develop collaboration in biological and environmental sciences between South Africa and Mexico. It is expected that this visit will enhance the bilateral agreement that is envisaged between the DST and the Ministry of Science in Mexico.
