Siyayinqoba Beat It! on 24th May looks at Gender Violence.

A 78 year-old woman in a remote village in the Eastern Cape tells how she was infected with HIV after being raped in her house by a group of young men.

In Kwazulu/Natal a young man speaks about how he used to abuse woman and how he came to change his ways after joining a men’s group that sensitized him to issues of gender inequality.

 Siyayinqoba Beat It! is a weekly TV show for everyone living with HIV and AIDS, as well as their partners, families, friends and care givers.
