Mo Senne said South Africa treats women’s safety as corporate philanthropy and photo-op politics, not a constitutional duty, despite strong GBV laws on paper. [state-funded interventions, implementation failures]

The state was accused of underfunding its own GBV strategy, failing to audit money flowing to NGOs, and announcing a national GBV council without clear, accountable practical detail. [funding, accountability]

Senne argued corporate South Africa’s Women’s Month donations amount to tax-deductible “performative allyship” when companies still tolerate wage gaps, harassment and insecure work that trap women with abusers. [corporate role]
