# Rhodes University Sports Council in the Eastern Cape says people who commit gender-based violence and femicide must be held responsible, not the victims. Speaking amid a student-led march following the death of nine women in Ekurhuleni, the council’s chairperson, Sue Smailes, says victims are expected to change their behavior, instead of holding perpetrators accountable. She describes GBV as a national crisis and called for action from the justice system:
