Background information
Gender-based violence is a pervasive issue that continues to affect women and girls around the world, manifesting in various forms such as domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. The anti-gender-based violence campaign has emerged as a crucial social movement dedicated to ending violence against women and promoting gender equality. The University of the Free State (UFS) has shown its support for this campaign, with academics like Dr Claire Westman actively advocating for awareness and activism to address the root causes of gender-based violence.

By exploring the participant's experiences, perspectives, and theoretical framework rooted in intersectional feminism, this essay seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding the campaign. Through a critical analysis of the interviewee's insights in relation to theoretical frameworks such as social learning theory and feminist theory, we aim to deepen our understanding of the motivations and challenges faced by individuals working towards social justice and gender equality.
