NWU students stood in solidarity against GBVF honouring Purple Silence
On Friday, 21 November, South African women silenced the nation in a powerful stand against gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF).

At the North-West University (NWU)…http://news.nwu.ac.za/new-centre-prioritises-security-thinking-strategic-stability
