South African psychology congress to address gender-based violence amid femicide outcry

The Psychological Society of South Africa is convening in Ekurhuleni to develop evidence-based psychological strategies against gender-based violence, responding to rising public outrage over femicide. The event signals a policy-adjacent, professional response to a persistent social crisis, though concrete outcomes remain unspecified. It matters as a domestic political and social signal in South Africa, but has no direct market or geopolitical impact.
