A calling for residents to wear black this Friday in solidarity with eight women whose deaths have sparked concern and renewed calls for action against violence against women.

The initiative aims to honour the victims, support their grieving families and stand with women and communities affected by violence.



Organisers are encouraging residents to wear black as a visible show of solidarity and to send a message that the lives of women matter.

The message behind the initiative is simple: “Enough is enough. The lives of women matter.”
