About Company

The Call to Action Collective

Operations Coordinator

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

The Call to Action Collective (CtA) emerged from the activism of the #TotalShutdown movement, which mobilised thousands of women, the LGBTQIA+ community and gender non-conforming people across the country to protest the increasing violence perpetrated against their bodies, and demand that government take concrete action in the fight against ending the scourge of gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa. The collective was therefore established in 2018 and is a coalition of over 90 civil society organisations, trade unions and individual activists working on issues ranging from direct service provision, research, advocacy, litigation, and varying GBVF prevention initiatives.

The main objective of the collective has always been premised on the idea that formulating joint strategies and interventions between government and civil society would offer a vehicle to effectively and successfully deal with the increasing violence subjected to womxn, children, LGBTQIA+ and gender non-conforming people. In so doing we have sought to strengthen the building of an autonomous feminist movement across the country, and as a result, have continued our national mandate of providing information on various multi-sectoral developments as per the expectations set out in the 24 demands – the bedrock of our mission statement.
