Men standing together against GBV

More Than a March - A Movement

The One Million Man March is not just an event - it's a growing movement creating real change across South Africa.

Each year, we bring together men from all walks of life to take a visible stand against gender-based violence. Through education, community action, and policy advocacy, we're working to create a society where women and children can live free from fear.

Our orange socks have become a powerful symbol of this commitment, worn by thousands to show their support year-round.

Why This Matters

Break the Silence

Gender-based violence thrives in silence. Our annual march breaks that silence by declaring: Not In Our Name.

Support Survivors

We stand in solidarity with survivors, amplifying their voices and supporting organizations that provide critical services.

Transform Masculinity

We're creating new models of manhood based on empathy, respect, and equality through workshops and mentorship programs.
