About Women For Change
Women for Change (WFC), founded in 2016, is one of South Africa’s most influential non-profit organisations dedicated to combating Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF). Driven by a mission to raise awareness, advocate and inspire meaningful change, we harness the power of social media to expose the GBVF crisis and demand justice.
With a rapidly growing online community of over 450,000 followers and over 25 million monthly views, we amplify survivor stories, influence public opinion, and pressure policymakers to take decisive action. We have created a powerful and trusted movement where victims of sexual assault can break their silence, find unwavering support and guidance, and access vital resources.
Run For Her
Join our Run For Her Virtual Race and make every step count. This fundraising event lets you run or walk anywhere, anytime, while honouring every woman we have lost due to femicide in South Africa.
Dedicate every kilometre to the 4,169 women tragically murdered in 2022/23. Whether you run solo, with friends, or with family, your participation helps raise awareness and funds for GBV survivors.
Date: Run, walk, hike, cycle, or swim any distance on any day during Women’s Month, August 2024.
Location: The best of a Virtual Race is that you can choose your route. Take a hike, stroll through your neighbourhood, hit the gym, or run along the beach – you decide. Do it solo, with your bestie, boyfriend, colleagues or family.
Distance: Cover any distance that feels meaningful to you. Every kilometre is dedicated to one of the 4,169 women tragically murdered in 2022/23.
