Gender-based violence (GBV) in South Africa is the center of high-level discussions in society, government, and the private sector, especially as statistics of domestic and intimate partner violence (IPV), rape, and femicide garner national outrage and international attention. Meaningful action, however, has been slow, with responses coordinated by the government largely focused on political posturing instead of grassroots solutions attentive to the lived realities of victims of GBV, in particular survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence (IPV). In this chapter, we will discuss how the intimacies of violence within the home and domestic partnerships have been largely left out of politicized conversations around GBV, in particular the lackluster legal frameworks to address IPV and the poor continuum of care that survivors of domestic violence can access. These complexities reveal the importance of community-coordinated solutions to violence that reshape inequitable power distributions between government and civil society, as well as frameworks that build strong communities of care, solidarity, and support for survivors to heal and thrive. The authors discuss how MOSAIC’s model of collective care can help redefine notions of safety and accountability in the country, highlighting how local activism must be paired with national advocacy, orienting intervention strategies with survivor care at the center.
