South Africa: Remembering victims of hate crimes

Over 130 people gathered at the Solomon Mahlangu hall in Khayelitsha, Cape Town on 4 February to acknowledge victims of hate crimes. Several organizations joined Free Gender in this event, including HBS, the African Gender Institute, Social Justice Coalition, Triangle Project, TAC, and Gender Dynamix. There was a candle lighting ceremony during which survivors and families of those who have passed due to hate and intolerance were presented with framed portraits.
