A systematic review of the evidence on one-stop centre models for victims of gender-based violence in low- and middle-income countries
Gender-based violence (GBV), including intimate partner violence and sexual assault, continues to be a pervasive public health issue globally and in South Africa. One-stop centre (OSC) models have emerged internationally as integrated approaches to service delivery, designed to reduce secondary victimisation and improve access to coordinated medical, legal and psychosocial support for survivors. South Africa’s Thuthuzela Care Centres (TCCs) refle…

Intimate partner violence among adolescents is a result of gender and sexual inequitable norms. South African studies note the high prevalence of intimate partner violence in adolescent relationships with adolescent girls and women bearing the high costs. This article examines adolescent girls’ attempts to challenge dating violence and exit violent relationships. It reports the results of a gender empowerment programme linked to girls’ soccer in …
Negotiating masculinities and authority through intersecting discourses of tradition and modernity in South Africa
Social identities and masculinities, in particular, are produced and practised through discourses of legitimacy. Men’s use and adoption of practices of tradition and modernity suggests that masculinities in South Africa are fluid, contradictory and flexible. This paper interrogates the discourses of masculinity derived from appeals to both tradition and modernity. It does so through examining some of the themes that emerged in a research study th…
Ensuring an optimal environment for peer education in South African schools
Peer education has long been seen as a key health promotion strategy and an important tool in preventing HIV infection. In South African schools, it is currently one of the strategies employed to do so. Based on both a recent research study of peer education across 35 schools and drawing on multiple previous studies in South Africa, this paper examines the key elements of peer education that contribute to its effectiveness and asks how this align…
Addressing adolescents' risk and protective factors related to risky behaviours
BACKGROUND: Peer-education programmes aim to bring about attitudinal and behavioural changes in their target audience. In the South African educational context, peer education is a favoured approach in dealing with issues such as HIV and AIDS, sexual decision-making and substance misuse. Given the reliance on peer-education programmes in the educational system, it is important to establish how well they are working. This study aims to assess the …

Rethinking ‘masculinities in transition’ in South Africa considering the ‘intersectionality’ of race, class, and sexuality with gender
South Africa as a sociopolitical space of transition provides the opportunity for the renegotiation and contestation of taken-for-granted social identities. Social identities are practiced and performed through broad social processes and solidified through social institutions. I explore the usefulness of the concept of intersectionality for the framing of South African masculinities. Race, class, ethnicity/culture, sexuality, and gender are lived…
Love in the Time of Aids
Mark Hunter's book is based on research in Mandeni, a community in KwaZulu-Natal, and more specifically, the township of Sundumbili and the Isithebe informal settlement. A central argument of the b
