LAUNCH: The Union Against Hunger
South Africa has enough food to feed everyone, yet one in four people face severe food insecurity, and 10,000 children die in our country from malnutrition each year. Hunger is a national crisis that demands urgent action.
Join us for the launch of the Union Against Hunger (UAH) – a powerful new movement uniting civil society and academia to end hunger and malnutrition in South Africa. With South Africa leading the G20 and the launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, this is a critical moment to drive real change.

As we mark the 16 Days of Activism Against Women and Children from November 25 to December 10, it is crucial to confront the harrowing reality of violence against children in South Africa.
Our country faces a devastating crisis, with child murder rates 4x times the global average. This stark statistic underscores the urgency of action to protecting children.
16 Days of Activism is more than an awareness campaign, it’s a call to address the systemic harm affecting children and women alike. We need to challenge harmful norms, support survivors, and advocate for stronger policies that safeguard children. Education, awareness, and community-driven efforts are vital to building safer environments for children and more equitable societies.
Let’s stand united against violence and work tirelessly toward a future where every child grows up in safety and dignity.
