When yet another South African women was abducted raped and killed, Bronwyn Litkie started the journey of founding SA Women Fight Back. The brutal news of the innocent spilling of blood that had once again turned our country bright red, led Bronwyn on the 8th August 2019 to start a Facebook group to protest the injustice of Gender Based Violence. This group went viral and thousands of women started making their voices heard.
Fallen Angels like Meghan Cremer, Jesse Hesse and Uyinene Mrwetyana will forever unite us all.
Bronwyn has no special qualification or title when it comes to GBV, what she has is passion. Her continued call for equality and safety for the women and children of South Africa has been the drive to start this revolution. She hopes to inspire a country through her actions. We salute you Bronwyn, may your dream become our reality!
