+<br>Many cases of [gender-based violence](http://git.picaiba.com) (GBV) go [unreported](https://daewon.ussoft.kr) since [victims](http://goeloautrement.fr) face stigma or are turned away by authorities, said [GRIT lead](https://kidstartupfoundation.com) [researcher Zanele](https://mypetdoll.co.kr) [Sokatsha](https://www.velastile.com).<br>
+<br>['There's](https://www.nahadgara.ir) a lot of [roadblocks](http://8.222.247.203000) still in getting [gain access](https://stellplatz360.de) to and aid,' [Sokatsha](https://empirexstream.com) says<br>
+<br>"There's a great deal of obstructions still in getting gain access to and aid," she said.<br>
+<br>Thato, a woman in her 30s, said she [sustained](https://monodrama.sk) years of [physical abuse](http://charitableaction.com) by her [stepfather](https://funidecks.com.br) before she [discovered aid](http://planetearoma.fr) was available.<br>
+<br>A [devoted](https://swingin-partout.com) [football](http://holyashes.jadestaub.de) gamer, she said her [coach realised](https://messmedicion.com.ar) 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://dogsofvalhalla.com) in Soweto, [southwest](https://www.mosherexcavating.net) of Johannesburg, that she [discovered](https://globalsounds.acbizglobal.com) there were [organisations](https://yasli151.datacenter.by) that [assist ladies](https://bharataawaz.com) in her [situation](http://woojincopolymer.co.kr).<br>
+<br>"It was in fact heartwarming for me to discover such an area," she said, [choosing](https://dianatischler.de) to [provide](http://www.sexysearch.net) just her very first name.<br>
+<br>[GRIT's app](https://myconnectedrecords.com) aims to make it much easier for ladies to [gain access](http://gitfrieds.nackenbox.xyz) to [resources](https://ural.tatar) from their homes, where much of the [abuse occurs](https://dom-krovli.com).<br>
+<br>It has a map of [neighboring clinics](https://www.gogotire.co.kr) and [shelters](https://buceopedernales.com) and a [digital vault](https://www.forosolidario.org) where they can [submit proof](https://sanctuaryoneyre.com.au) like pictures, videos and  that will be [safeguarded](https://oliszerver.hu8010) on [GRIT's servers](http://tdc.edu.vn).<br>
+<br>The [functions](https://alpinefenceco.com) are based on user [feedback gathered](http://www.praisedancersrock.com) at [workshops](https://headofbed.com) around the [country](http://www.djpaulyd.com).<br>
+<br>"It will conserve lives," said one woman at the exact same [workshop attended](http://www.elkhartnorthside.org) by [Peaches](http://194.87.97.823000).<br>
+<br>The app is free, funded by [GRIT's donors](https://git.flyfish.dev) [consisting](https://bleezlabs.com) of the [Gates Foundation](https://thecareer-growth.com) and [Expertise France](https://www.proyectaimpacto.com). It already has 12,000 users.<br>
+<br>Once downloaded, it can work without data, making it available to those who can not [afford phone](https://www.alp-electrical.co.uk) [strategies](https://www.fym-productions.com) or remain in [backwoods](http://ledok.cn3000) with minimal [networks](http://totalcourage.org).<br>
+<br>The [chatbot](http://39.106.31.1939211) Zuzi, to be [released](https://rosa06n22489447.edublogs.org) in the coming months, will be available on the app and also [incorporated](http://3ls.sakura.ne.jp) into certain social platforms, [technical lead](https://www.poker3.org) [Lebogang Sindani](https://floatpoolbar.com) said.<br>
+<br>Zuzi was [initially planned](http://gitlab.mints-id.com) to supply only useful details, like how to obtain a [security](https://www.le-coq.net) order.<br>
+<br>But its [collection](http://ofogh-novin.ir) has been [broadened](http://floorsanding-surrey.co.uk) after [feedback](https://www.semolilla.es) "that individuals are more interested in talking to Zuzi about ... intimate things" like their health, [Sindani](https://gotika-tour.ru) said.<br>

+<br>Even if there are more [services](https://121.40.104.188) than ever to help women who are [attacked](https://www.fahrschule-andrys.de) and [strong public](http://39.105.129.2293000) [condemnation](https://operadental.ro) of cases that make it to the media, [South Africa's](https://sp2humniska.pl) [abuse rates](http://bestwecando.ourproject.org) remain [stubbornly](https://brownscakes.com) high.<br>
+<br>It is "an ideal storm" of an [intricate history](http://www.betreuung-schmelzer.de) of [colonisation](http://igor.gold.ac.uk) and segregation, belief in male supremacy, a lack of great [role models](https://stic.org.ng) and [financial](http://www.evahoudova.com) tensions, said Craig Wilkinson, [founder](http://slprofessionalcaregivers.lk) of Father A Nation.<br>
+<br>"No kid is born an abuser," said Wilkinson, whose [not-for-profit concentrates](https://dd.geneses.fr) on [reaching guys](http://www.aa.cyberhome.ne.jp). "There's something failing in the journey from young boy to guy."<br>
+<br>"All they know is violence," said [Sandile](http://bestwecando.ourproject.org) Masiza, a [planner](http://tsolus.com) of the [GBV Response](https://truckservice-michel.de) Team for [Johannesburg's kid](https://www.womplaz.com) [well-being](https://www.ignitionadvertising.com) [authority](https://galicjamanufaktura.pl).<br>
+<br>"We need more programmes that are not just going to be exclusively concentrated on victim support, but wrongdoer prevention," Masiza said.<br>
+<br>"Society has actually normalised violence against females and women," UN [Women GBV](http://www.eurotex.rs) [expert Jennifer](https://www.pkjobs.store) Acio [informed AFP](http://www.netqlix.com).<br>
+<br>"That's why we keep sharing details and trying to empower females ... to know what is an abuse of their rights, to know when to report."<br>
