CALL FOR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Please RT & #StandWithYolanda

Thread:
Yolanda Dyantyi is an anti-GBV activist & director of The Archive: Amabali Wethu. As fellow activists, we are fundraising to support Yolanda ease the burden of her living expenses for the next 6 months.
#StandWithYolanda
In 2017, her final year, Yolanda was excluded from Rhodes University, following her involvement in anti-rape protests in 2016. Since 2016, Yolanda (represented by @SERI_RightsSA) has been involved in litigation against Rhodes to have her expulsion set aside.
#StandWithYolanda
Due to her expulsion, Yolanda has been held back from accessing employment opportunities. Being denied access to education has only deepened the economic violence & precarity Yolanda already faced as a young, Black woman & survivor of sexual violence.
#StandWithYolanda
This call for financial support recognizes Yolanda’s expulsion as inherently unjust. Alongside others, Yolanda sought to challenge rape culture at her university & ultimately, she received a harsher punishment than any student expelled for rape since 2016.
#StandWithYolanda We believe Yolanda has experienced unfair victimization & secondary traumatization in being forced to fight her expulsion in the courts over the past few years. This fundraiser seeks to redress a small part of this heavy psychological and financial toll.
Contributions will be used to pay for Yolanda's rent, food & toiletries over the coming 6 months. Additional funds raised will be spent on legal expenses.
