Have South African men ever considered what it's like being a woman in South Africa?Have you ever considered how intersecting identities, like race and class, contribute to individualised experiences of gender-based violence on social media platforms? Have you considered what the potential and limitations of social media are when it comes to combating gender-based violence?Our fifth and last episode of the year continues with the "Sexualities, Gender & Violence in Africa" series. In this episode of Ol'Things Considered, I'm joined by Aphiwe Mhlangulana, a PhD researcher and activist based at the Decolonial Feminist Psychologies Hub at the University of Cape Town. She is also a doctoral fellow at  ⁨@HUMA_africa⁩  , the Institute for Humanities in Africa at the University of Cape Town. Aphiwe's work investigates what she terms technologically-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), exploring the experiences of Black women journalists and content creators as they are subjected to various forms of tech-facilitated abuse on social media platforms. Importantly, Mhlangulana insists that we should not treat TFGBV as a phenomenon from what we typically refer to as GBV, but as an extension of it. Her work highlights how social media platforms, also in their design, can facilitate various forms of abuse against women. If you like what you see, please like and subscribe to this channel!
