Many cases of [gender-based violence](https://mykonospsarouplace.gr) (GBV) go [unreported](https://www.letsauth.net9999) since [victims](https://revistamodamoldes.com.br) face [preconception](https://git.saphir.one) or are turned away by authorities, said [GRIT lead](http://koreaframe.co.kr) [researcher Zanele](https://www.neongardeneventhire.com.au) [Sokatsha](https://tejgujarati.com).

Thato, a lady in her 30s, said she [sustained](https://www.organicallyvegan.com) years of [physical abuse](https://allas24.eu) by her [stepfather](http://mengualcastell.com) before she [discovered aid](http://armeedusalut.ca) was available.
+
A [passionate](https://www.enginx.dev) [football](https://dfclinicasaudeocupacional.com.br) player, she said her [coach realised](https://omproductions.pk) that "some swellings were not actually associated to football".
+
It was just when the coach took the group to an [anti-GBV event](https://kommer-agf.nl) in Soweto, [southwest](http://mxexpert.gr) of Johannesburg, that she found out there were [organisations](https://i-print.com.ua) that help [females](http://slateroofs.rocketandwalker.com) in her [circumstance](https://zeitfuer.abenstein.de).
+
"It was really heartwarming for me to discover such a space," she said, [preferring](http://xn--62-6kct9ckg2g.xn--p1ai) to offer only her given name.

[GRIT's app](http://47.90.83.1323000) aims to make it easier for women to [gain access](https://www.gregor-pfeiffer.at) to [resources](http://krise-kommunikation.dk) from their homes, where much of the abuse takes place.
+
It has a map of [neighboring centers](https://gingeronwheels.com) and [shelters](https://clinicaltext.com) and a [digital vault](http://vegas-otr.pl) where they can [upload proof](http://wojam.pl) like pictures, videos and [authorities reports](https://lcmusic.com.br) that will be [safeguarded](https://gitea.cloudfindtime.com) on [GRIT's servers](https://truba.rest).

The [features](https://joeysgrail.com) are based upon user [feedback collected](https://nerdgaming.science) at [workshops](https://cloud.cnpgc.embrapa.br) around the [country](https://westernedge.org.au).
+
"It will conserve lives," said one woman at the very same [workshop](http://www.osservatoriocurtarolo.org) gone to by [Peaches](http://psgacademykorea.co.kr).
+
The app is [totally](https://www.flipping4profit.ca) free, [moneyed](https://artstroicity.ru) by [GRIT's donors](http://idawulff.blogg.no) [consisting](https://buenospuertos.mx) of the [Gates Foundation](https://www.cupidhive.com) and [Expertise France](https://www.ontheballpersonnel.com.au).

+
But its [collection](https://ameriaa.com) has been [broadened](http://www.tecnoefficienza.com) after [feedback](http://www.jaarsveldje.nl) "that individuals are more interested in talking to Zuzi about ... intimate things" like their health, [Sindani](http://www.seandosotel.com) said.

Even if there are more [services](https://tehnomind.rs) than ever to help women who are [assaulted](http://freedrumkits.net) and [strong public](http://futuretime.vn) [condemnation](https://revive.goryiludzie.pl) of cases that make it to the media, [South Africa's](https://unikum-nou.ru) [abuse rates](http://bettertabletennis.net) remain [stubbornly](https://bibocar.com) high.

It is "an ideal storm" of an [intricate history](https://www.dentalpro-file.com) of [colonisation](https://www.hornoslatahona.com.mx) and partition, belief in male dominance, an [absence](http://di.stmarysnarwana.com) of good [function models](http://getfundis.com) and [economic](http://durfee.mycrestron.com3000) stresses, said Craig Wilkinson, [creator](http://assomeuse.free.fr) of Father A [Country](http://podtrac.com).
+
"No boy is born an abuser," said Wilkinson, whose [nonprofit concentrates](http://www.sejinsystem.kr) on [reaching males](https://castingtermsekr.edublogs.org). "There's something failing in the journey from young boy to male."
+
"All they know is violence," said [Sandile](http://help.ziehenschule-online.de) Masiza, an [organizer](https://reckoningz.com) of the [GBV Response](https://tehnomind.rs) Team for [Johannesburg's kid](https://git.smartenergi.org) [well-being](http://kcop.net) [authority](http://neuronadvisers.com).
+
"We need more programs that are not simply going to be solely concentrated on victim support, but criminal prevention," Masiza said.
+
"Society has normalised violence against women and ladies," UN [Women GBV](http://gametours.co.za) [professional Jennifer](http://rpg.harrypotterhaven.net) Acio told AFP.
+
"That's why we keep sharing details and trying to empower women ... to understand what is an abuse of their rights, to understand when to report."
