Durban University of Technology (DUT) is set to hold its 12th Annual Silent Protest March against gender-based violence on 26 August 2026. The event brings together students, staff, and members of the surrounding community to raise awareness of GBV and to create a supportive environment for survivors.
The report frames the march as a continued effort by DUT to address gender-based violence and to encourage solidarity through a silent, non-violent form of protest. While no other outlets are provided for comparison, the emphasis in the available coverage is on participation and survivor support rather than on policy changes or specific incidents. The university’s announcement focuses on the march’s planned date and its goal of uniting the campus and broader community around the issue of GBV.
