EndGBV is a powerful brand dedicated to combating gender-based violence and femicide (GBV-F) through technology-based solutions. As an initiative of the Empire Partner Foundation (EPF), a non-profit organization in South Africa, the campaign aims to address the alarming rise of GBV-F and its impact on safety and security. EndGBV has organized Hackathons and events to raise awareness and empower young people to design innovative solutions.

One of their notable collaborations is with Afri-tec, a local technology company, to develop a mobile app specifically focused on GBV-F. The app allows victims or witnesses to alert their trusted circle, providing immediate access to live location and contact details. In addition, EndGBV is partnering with the Joe Slovo Foundation to build a national crime database that collects accurate and credible GBV-F and crime data.

This database will serve as an engagement platform to empower victims and allocate resources effectively. With the ultimate goal of creating safer communities and addressing the second pandemic of GBV-F in South Africa, EndGBV is leading the way in the fight against gender-based violence.
