Gender-based violence is a phenomenon deeply rooted in gender inequality, and continues to be one of the most notable human rights violations within all societies. In south Africa, gender based violence was declared a national crisis in September 2019.

Following this, AGA-Africa in collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) held a four-day workshop on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) & Cybercrime from 19th to 22nd November 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
