Good morning F.A.Mily. I know you think we've ditched you like a runaway father or that we fell off the radar like most who have come and gone, but, our silence was deliberate. "why?" one might ask?. We've noticed a trend in S.A where humanitarian movements are concerned. Especially those who claim to advocate for womens rights. They only become vocal during women's month, when theres a femicide or abuse story making the rounds in the news or the 16days of activism against women and children. What about the rest of the year?. Do these women and children's rights now not deserve to be advocated for? There seems to be a lack of consistency and then we wonder why the problem concerning Gender based violence remains on a constant incline rather than the desired decline?. Well, F.A.M aims for consistency, we will continue to raise awareness and touch on those topics that make a lot of people jeer in discomfort. We will keep asking thought provoking questions in search of solutions. Because, we are more than just a movement, we are F.A.M.

Information is updated as times change, as circumstances improve or worsen, it is vital for us to be aware of the current state of things and our position in it all. This allows us to formulate relevant and concise information which in turn inspires progressive and productive action where our mission is concerned.

Good morning F.A.Mily.
Following the 100 Men March on the 11th, there has been voices speaking against events of such nature, dubbing them as "ineffective" in fighting gender based violence and child abuse in the country. One other claim is that the fight is going in circles and it feels we are taking the same step every year and no real change is effected. What say you about this? Do you think there are measures we S.A can put in place other than just raising awareness on issues such as GBV and Child abuse and many other social ills impacting negatively on society and subsequently the quality of life in S.A?.
