Harvested Insights
A collection of insight, key lessons, and themed stories from past End GBVF 100-Day Challenge teams.
Reduce Case Backlogs
When courts experience a backlog in cases, victims wait longer to see justice in their cases. What did past End GBVF 100-Day court teams do to reduce their backlogs?
Reducing Turnaround Time & Improving Finalisation Rate
For GBVF cases, specifically domestic violence and sexual offences, cases can unfortunately go on for months. What did the teams deploy to reduce the turnaround time and speed up the finalisation rate of cases?
Creating Victim Centred Courts
Courts exist to protect citizens. They are often the starting point for a victim to become a survivor, where they start their healing journey after a traumatic experience. How did End GBVF 100-Day Challenge court teams create victim centred courts?
Using Technology to Host Virtual Trails
Nowadays, almost all sectors rely on technology for business. It’s just the way our world has evolved. Our business processes, administration, data processing and the way in which we communicate are all enabled by technology.
Engaging Youth
The youth of South Africa can be easily influenced by their surrounding circumstances, often copying the behaviour that they see in their elders. See why it is important to engage youth to address GBVF in South Africa.
Hosting Dialogue Circles
Our country is one of the most diverse rich nations in the world. Cultural traditions and history can bring up social challenges which often present divided opinions, biases and limiting perspectives. See the impact of dialogue circles on TVET campuses.
Organising Awareness Campaigns
For teams that set goals to increase the reporting of GBVF cases, and to have more survivors access support services, large scale awareness campaigns play a massive role. Take a closer look on how to organise awareness campaigns.
Establishing GBVF Hotlines

Introduction to 100-Day Challenges
Short overview of the 100-Day Challenge approach. The End GBVF Movement and 100-Day Challenges is a programme under the umbrella of the End GBVF Collective. The aim is to build capacity in Municipalities, Courts and TVET colleges to implement the National Strategic Plan on GBVF in local communities. Participants in the learning journey are guided to convene, facilitate and support teams that are focusing on delivering impact on a GBVF indicator in 100-Days.
GBVF 101 – Safeguarding, Cause no Harm
The guide aims to ensure that as we participate in or support collective action to address GBVF in South Africa, we have a common understanding of the context, an awareness and sensitivity about the complexity of the topic, and a shared language we can use to communicate with each other in an efficient and clear way. We hope it will bring you a step closer towards the aspiration of “causing no harm” as you engage in collective work.
