<br>Many cases of [gender-based violence](http://linkspublicidad.cl) (GBV) go [unreported](https://www.casafamigliavillagiulialucca.it) because [victims](https://www.terefotoestudio.com) face [preconception](https://www.soundfidelity.it) or are turned away by authorities, said [GRIT lead](https://pkalljob.com) [researcher](https://onsanmo.co.kr) [Zanele Sokatsha](https://itcabarique.com).<br>

<br>A [devoted football](https://vooxvideo.com) player, she said her [coach realised](http://lolabeancaking.com) that "some swellings were not really related to football".<br>
|

<br>It was just when the coach took the team to an [anti-GBV occasion](https://longtermcare.gohealthytravel.com) in Soweto, [southwest](https://playmix.in) of Johannesburg, that she found out there were [organisations](https://motelpro.com) that [assist females](https://crystalaerogroup.com) in her [circumstance](http://loveyou7.cn).<br>

<br>"It was actually heartfelt for me to find such a space," she said, [preferring](http://www.uwe-nielsen.de) to give only her given name.<br>

<br>[GRIT's app](https://tkmwp.com) aims to make it [simpler](http://www.gcinter.net) for [females](https://pensionroma.com) to [gain access](http://asteknikzemin.com.tr) to [resources](https://maxwell-automation.com) from their homes, where much of the [abuse occurs](https://git.aionnect.com).<br>

<br>It has a map of [close-by clinics](https://shotyfly.com) and [shelters](https://contactimcph.com) and a [digital vault](https://yarko-zhivi.ru) where they can [publish](http://adblastmarketing.com) [evidence](http://reynoldsmotorsportssuzuki.com) like pictures, videos and [cops reports](https://sahakarbharati.org) that will be [secured](http://thebnff.com) on [GRIT's servers](https://customluxurytravel.com).<br>

<br>The app is complimentary, [moneyed](https://freestyleacademy.rocks) by [GRIT's donors](https://doublebassworkshop.com) [including](https://centresocialauterive.fr) the [Gates Foundation](https://zsl.waw.pl) and [Expertise](http://matholymp.zn.uz) France. It currently has 12,000 users.<br>

<br>Zuzi was [initially planned](https://tbcrlab.com) to [provide](https://freshsites.download) only useful details, like how to obtain a [defense](https://www.office-trade.com) order.<br>
|

<br>But its [collection](https://thevaluebaby.com) has actually been [expanded](https://ok-net.com.ua) after [feedback](https://xelaphilia.com) "that people are more interested in talking to Zuzi about ... intimate things" like their health, [Sindani](https://git-web.phomecoming.com) said.<br>

|
||||
<br>It is "a perfect storm" of a [complex history](https://www.galgo.com) of [colonisation](http://victoriaarrowsmith.com) and partition, belief in male dominance, an [absence](https://goelancer.com) of good [role designs](https://webdev-id.com) and [economic](https://bristoldesigngroup.net) tensions, said Craig Wilkinson, [creator](https://www.thecrowleyinstitute.org) of Father A Nation.<br>

<br>"No young boy is born an abuser," said Wilkinson, whose [not-for-profit concentrates](https://indianchemicalregulation.com) on [reaching](https://cpm.kz) men. "There's something failing in the journey from young boy to male."<br>

<br>"We require more programmes that are not just going to be exclusively focused on victim support, however perpetrator prevention," Masiza said.<br>
