[WATCH]: The Harassment, Discrimination and Gender-Based Harm (HDGH) Office, in collaboration with the Legal Unit, Campus Protection Unit, and South African Police Service, hosted an awareness session themed "Know Your Support, Trust the Process."
This initiative was part of the University's ongoing commitment to combat Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and aimed to ensure all students had clear, accessible pathways to support and justice.
