The Application of Indigenous Knowledge Strategies in Managing and Addressing Gender-Based Violence in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: A Literature Review
Abstract
Gender-based violence has proven to be problematic worldwide, however, in South Africa, it has proven to be uncontrollable. In as much as national and provincial laws are enforced against gender-based violence, it continues to exacerbate. This has awakened South Africa to go back to African methods of addressing gender-based violence. This study aimed to investigate indigenous knowledge strategies for managing and addressing gender-based violence amongst the local citizens in KwaZulu-Natal. Important to note is that the rate of gender-based violence cases is witnessed to be increasing in KwaZulu-Natal. The reviewed literature has proven that Indigenous knowledge is capable of managing and addressing gender-based violence. Again, the findings of the study have demonstrated that indigenous knowledge strategies could become a roadmap for addressing gender-based violence not only in KwaZulu-Natal but in Africa as a whole.
