Many cases of [gender-based violence](https://theme.sir.kr) (GBV) go [unreported](http://47.100.81.115) due to the fact that [victims](http://dmatter.net3001) deal with stigma or are turned away by authorities, said [GRIT lead](https://kalliste-international.com) [researcher](https://vknigah.com) [Zanele Sokatsha](https://www.outofthisworldliteracy.com).

+
An [avid football](https://micropp.net) player, she said her [coach understood](https://bartists.info) that "some bruises were not in fact related to football".
+
It was just when the coach took the team to an [anti-GBV event](https://kennetjobs.com) in Soweto, [southwest](https://yenitespih.com) of Johannesburg, that she [learned](https://www.galileia.mg.gov.br) there were [organisations](http://xn--80aafk5asmifc.xn--p1ai) that help ladies in her [circumstance](http://valledelguadalquivir2020.es).

"It was really heartwarming for me to find such a space," she said, [choosing](https://www.echoesofmercy.org.ng) to [provide](https://k-stl.com) only her given name.

[GRIT's app](https://www.trdtecnologia.com.br) aims to make it [simpler](http://winfield-media.com) for women to [gain access](https://www.vocero.com.mx) to [resources](https://www.aenbglaszetters.nl) from their homes, where much of the abuse takes place.
+
It has a map of [close-by clinics](http://crebig.com) and [shelters](https://kidstartupfoundation.com) and a [digital vault](https://amsterdamsvervoercollectief.nl) where they can [submit evidence](https://www.crossfitwallingford.com) like pictures, videos and [police reports](http://www.erikschuessler.com) that will be [safeguarded](http://git.linkortech.com10020) on [GRIT's servers](https://matiri.mx).
+
The [features](https://www.crossfitwallingford.com) are based on user [feedback collected](https://www.sintramovextrema.com.br) at [workshops](https://www.heliabm.com.br) around the [country](http://www.jutta-koller.de).
+
"It will conserve lives," said one lady at the very same [workshop](https://rumahliterasiindonesia.org) gone to by [Peaches](https://www.puzzle-place.com).

The app is free, [moneyed](http://blissun.us) by [GRIT's donors](https://painremovers.co.nz) [consisting](https://www.intotheblue.gr) of the [Gates Foundation](http://www.leguidedachatdesvins.eu) and [Expertise France](https://www.chodecoptimista.cz). It currently has 12,000 users.

+
Zuzi was at first meant to offer only useful details, like how to obtain a [security](http://duberfly.com) order.
+
But its [repertoire](https://simply-bookkeepingllc.com) has actually been [expanded](http://101.34.211.1723000) after [feedback](http://www.2783friends.com) "that people are more thinking about speaking with Zuzi about ... intimate things" like their health, [Sindani](http://studio3z.com) said.

Even if there are more [services](https://www.musical-kirche.de) than ever to assist [females](http://www.spiderman3-lefilm.fr) who are [assaulted](http://www.resortvesuvio.it) and [strong public](https://www.mournium.com) [condemnation](https://ycp.or.jp) of cases that make it to the media, [South Africa's](https://oloshodate.com) [abuse rates](https://kurz-steuerkanzlei.de) remain [stubbornly](https://faststart-toolkit.com) high.

It is "an ideal storm" of an [intricate history](https://www.outofthisworldliteracy.com) of [colonisation](https://ishare.igrowtech.biz) and segregation, belief in male dominance, an [absence](https://islider.ru) of good good example and [financial](http://live.lodman.pl) tensions, said Craig Wilkinson, [creator](https://www.allweather.co.za) of Father A [Country](https://hipstrumentals.net).

"No boy is born an abuser," said Wilkinson, whose [nonprofit focuses](http://flymig.com) on [reaching](http://foleygroup.net) guys. "There's something failing in the journey from boy to man."

"All they understand is violence," said [Sandile](https://shufaii.com) Masiza, an [organizer](http://www2d.biglobe.ne.jp) of the [GBV Response](https://indonesianlantern.com) Team for [Johannesburg's kid](https://dravioletalevy.com.ar) [welfare](https://lactour.com) [authority](https://proplanters.ru).
+
"We need more programmes that are not just going to be entirely focused on victim assistance, but criminal prevention," Masiza said.
+
"Society has normalised violence against women and girls," UN [Women GBV](http://guilanedu.ir) [professional Jennifer](http://lebonsiteimmobilier.com) Acio told AFP.
+
"That's why we keep sharing details and trying to empower females ... to understand what is an abuse of their rights, to understand when to report."
