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
+27 51 401 7777 or
+27 0 80 020 4682 (24 hour toll free).
