Cricket South Africa and The Proteas Women are taking a powerful stand against one of South Africa’s most critical societal scourge: gender-based violence (GBV), with the hosting of the annual Black Day Event.Â
GBV, an indefensible act that leaves a life-long psychological scar on the victim, does not discriminate, and can affect or be committed by any person regardless of their race, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, with mostly South African women and children at risk.
Black Day is a day where our Proteas Women’s team dresses in Black as part of its inbound bilateral tour One Day International to raise awareness and rally the public and fans to show their support as part of ending this scourge.
1 in 3 women and/or children are affected by some of gender-based violence and this has led to the South African President declaring GBV as the second pandemic facing the country.
In response, CSA and The Proteas Women will continue with its annual Black Day event with the objective to:
CSA works closely with POWA (People Opposing Women Abuse) with the intention to achieve these stated objectives.
At first glance, the sight of The Proteas dressed in all black might look unusual on a cricket field. But behind the colour lies a powerful message – one that goes beyond boundaries and scoreboards. It’s a stand against gender-based violence, a call for unity, and a reminder that every fan in the stadium plays a part in driving change. Together, we turn the field into more than just a game – it becomes a movement.
