Their mission is for individuals to be empowered enough to naturally live in an equal and just world. They aim to empower, educate and equip a global society to become agents of change in order to fully realise their Human Rights.

About the Kolisi Foundation 16 days of Activism Campaign
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it.
We are reminded of the words of our co-founder, Siya Kolisi, to use August as our audit month as the work should be done every day for 365 days.
During 16 days of Activism we will be taking hands with organisations in the GBV space by focusing on amplifying the work they are doing.
Our vision is to create a hub for helping organisations to build capacity, in order for people to find each other, create synergies, provide support and work better together. We cannot win the fight against GBV if we operate with a silo mentality.
Over the next few days, we will introduce you to these organisations. Take this opportunity to learn from and about them, understand the role they are playing in the space and how you can engage with them…
Help is available, we only need to know where to find it.
