📣 Calling all South African Bookstagrammers
(and our incredible international friends who want to stand with us in solidarity!)

Let’s raise our voices — and our books — against Gender-Based Violence.
Post a purple bookstack to honour the ongoing fight against GBV and to highlight the importance of amplifying the voices of women and all those impacted by this crisis.

Stand with @womenforchangesa
“On Friday, 21 November, South African women will
Silence the nation.
We call on all women and members of the LGBTQl+ community across South Africa to refrain from all paid and unpaid work in workplaces, universities, and homes, and to spend no money for the entire day to demonstrate the economic and social impact of their absence.
Because until South Africa stops burying a woman every 2.5 hours, the G20 cannot speak of growth and progress.”

How Can You Participate?

On 21 November 2025:
💜Don’t work. No paid or unpaid labour.
💜Don’t spend money and withdraw from the economy for one day.
💜Join the 15-Minute Standstill by lying down for 15 minutes at 12 pm to honour the 15 women murdered every day and bring South Africa to a complete standstill.
💜Wear black to stand in mourning and resistance.
💜Change your brofile picture to purple to make the Shutdown visible online.
💜Share. Share. Share. Make the Shutdown impossible to ignore. Talk about it, share our posters using #womenshutdown

Let’s make sure the silence is heard. Let’s make sure it demands change. 💜
