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).

The aim is to empower students with skills to handle diversity in the residences and in the lecture rooms. The workshops formed part of the university’s orientation programme for new students. They were run by, from the left, front: Mr Billyboy Ramahlele (Director: Office of Diversity), Ms Shirley Du Plooy (Lecturer: Anthropology), Ms Tibe Kibe (Tutorial Co-ordinator), Mr.Joe Serekoane (Lecturer: Anthropology) and at the back: Mr. JC van der Merwe (Lecturer: Philosophy)
