Get Involved Now.

A new year always provides the opportunity to take on new challenges. Perhaps you are inspired to be more active in bringing about social change, but don’t know how. Our social media followers often ask us how they can get more involved with the Rape Survivors Justice Campaign (RSJC), so we have drafted an easy step-by-step guide:
Ways to be more politically and socially active

1. The next time you are with family or friends, instead of letting conversation drift to idle chatter or celebrity gossip, discuss a particular cause that is close to your heart or that you feel strongly about.
2. Stay focussed on one cause. It is fine to take up many causes, but always recognise your main cause.
3. Find a political magazine, a local newspaper or an online blog and write for them on issues relating to your cause.
4. Organize a group of four or five people and attend protests together.
5. Talk to people that are different from you as a way to challenge stereotypes.

(Most of these ideas are from The Activist’s Handbook: 1000 Ways to Politically and Socially Activate Your Life)
Ways to support the Rape Survivors Justice Campaign

1. Join our social media platforms by hitting “Like” on our Facebook Page and following us on Twitter @RSJCampaign.
2. Share the posts, tweets and articles with your friends on your own social media platforms and tell people why you support this campaign. This way, our message reaches a wider audience.
3. When we have public protest actions, join us physically or by sharing our message on social media.
4. Consider donating to the Rape Survivors Justice Campaign to help us continue to do this work.

The RSJC believes that the South African Government should be held accountable for making sure that all survivors of sexual violence have access to a sexual offences court across the country. By supporting us in one or more of the above ways, we can do this together.
