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 Aids Unit of the University of the Free State (UFS) held an HIV/Aids Candlelight Memorial Service on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein in remembrance of those who live with the disease and those who have died from it. The theme for the day was "Stop HIV and Aids. Never give up”. Lighting candles in remembrance of those affected and infected by Aids, were Bonolo Phatlane, first-year B.Admin. student (left), and Prof. Teuns Verschoor, Acting Rector of the UFS.
