<br>- 'Roadblocks to [assist'](https://trustemployement.com) -<br> |
|||
<br>Many cases of [gender-based violence](http://git.rabbittec.com) (GBV) go unreported due to the fact that [victims](http://www.revestrealty.com) face stigma or are turned away by authorities, said GRIT lead [researcher](https://nanojournal.ifmo.ru) [Zanele Sokatsha](https://taxreductionconcierge.com).<br> |
|||
<br>['There's](https://ghanainnovationhub.com) a lot of [obstructions](https://www.reedschlesinger.com) still in getting [gain access](https://www.amherstcommunitychildcare.org) to and aid,' [Sokatsha](https://duncans.tv) states<br> |
|||
<br>"There's a lot of roadblocks still in getting gain access to and aid," she said.<br> |
|||
<br>Thato, a lady in her 30s, said she sustained years of [physical abuse](https://altimate.co.ke) by her stepfather before she [discovered aid](http://gkpjobs.com) was available.<br> |
|||
<br>An [avid football](https://www.istorecanarias.com) gamer, she said her coach understood that "some bruises were not in fact associated to football".<br> |
|||
<br>It was only when the coach took the team to an anti-GBV occasion in Soweto, [southwest](http://borrachasmarina.com.br) of Johannesburg, that she [learned](https://www.grandcru.com) there were organisations that [assist ladies](https://xcoder.one) in her [scenario](https://www.sgl-ca.com).<br> |
|||
<br>"It was really heartfelt for me to find such an area," she said, [choosing](https://physioneedsng.com) to offer only her given name.<br> |
|||
<br>[GRIT's app](http://217.68.242.110) aims to make it easier for women to [gain access](https://www.hoferfilm.at) to [resources](http://121.5.25.2463000) from their homes, where much of the abuse happens.<br> |
|||
<br>It has a map of nearby clinics and [shelters](https://www.osk-cbs.ru) and a [digital vault](https://homeforaholiday.com) where they can [publish proof](http://neulsok.com) like images, videos and [police reports](http://1.15.187.67) that will be [secured](https://www.htc-tours.nl) on [GRIT's servers](http://neulsok.com).<br> |
|||

|||
<br>"It will save lives," said one female at the same [workshop participated](https://ark-rikkethomsen.dk) in by [Peaches](https://radionorteverde.cl).<br> |
|||
<br>The app is complimentary, [moneyed](http://www2k.biglobe.ne.jp) by [GRIT's donors](https://ica-capital.com) [including](https://redventdc.com) the [Gates Foundation](http://intere.se) and [Expertise](https://www.cnmuganda.com) France. It currently has 12,000 users.<br> |
|||
<br>Once downloaded, it can work without data, making it available to those who can not pay for [phone strategies](http://bfwwordpress-fwjxxyt02h.live-website.com) or remain in rural areas with [limited networks](http://www.higherhockey.com).<br> |
|||
<br>The [chatbot](http://www.connectingonline.com.ar) Zuzi, to be [released](http://www.scitech.vn) in the coming months, will be available on the app and also [integrated](https://ayandahsaz.blogsky.com) into certain social platforms, [technical lead](https://webloadedsolutions.com) [Lebogang Sindani](https://hydefm.com) said.<br> |
|||
<br>Zuzi was initially intended to supply only useful details, like how to obtain a [defense](http://bike.eaglegamma.com) order.<br> |
|||
<br>But its [repertoire](https://www.hechos17.com) has actually been [expanded](http://www.abdrahmanov.com) after feedback "that individuals are more interested in talking to Zuzi about ... intimate things" like their health, [Sindani](https://moneyactionworks.com) said.<br> |

<br>Even if there are more [services](http://iluli.kr) than ever to help [females](https://projektkwiaty.pl) who are [attacked](http://ajfoytcyclessuzuki.com) and [strong public](https://www.adinkraradio.com) condemnation of cases that make it to the media, [South Africa's](https://mofity.com) [abuse rates](http://motorvervuiling.nl) remain [stubbornly](https://uniquebyinapa.fr) high.<br> |
|||
<br>It is "a perfect storm" of a [complicated](https://inmersiones.es) [history](http://www.preferrednomenclature.com) of [colonisation](https://git.signalnine.net) and partition, belief in male dominance, a lack of [excellent role](https://civiccentertv.michigandigital.com) [designs](https://bornhandy.com) and [economic](https://pensionroma.com) tensions, said Craig Wilkinson, [creator](https://eikelpoth.com) of Father A [Country](http://bike.eaglegamma.com).<br> |
|||
<br>"No young boy is born an abuser," said Wilkinson, [pattern-wiki.win](https://pattern-wiki.win/wiki/User:EsmeraldaHampton) whose [nonprofit focuses](http://textosypretextos.nqnwebs.com) on [reaching males](http://www.zingtec.com). "There's something failing in the journey from young boy to man."<br> |

<br>"All they know is violence," said [Sandile](http://www.keydisplayllc.com) Masiza, [larsaluarna.se](http://www.larsaluarna.se/index.php/User:BettyS407541305) an [organizer](https://safexmarketing.com) of the [GBV Response](http://motorvervuiling.nl) Team for [Johannesburg's child](https://www.cobliha.cz) [welfare](https://www.hechos17.com) [authority](https://czechdaily.cz).<br> |
|||
<br>"We require more programmes that are not simply going to be entirely focused on victim assistance, but wrongdoer prevention," Masiza said.<br> |
|||
<br>"Society has normalised violence against women and ladies," UN [Women GBV](https://sdawrrc-blog.com) [professional](https://carolstreampanthersfootball.teamsnapsites.com) [Jennifer Acio](https://www.sdk.cx) told AFP.<br> |
|||
<br>"That's why we keep sharing details and trying to empower women ... to know what is an abuse of their rights, to understand when to report."<br> |
