Compounding the problem is the lack of awareness by community members and service providers of the rights, legal remedies, and available services in cases of GBV. This contributes to the low reporting rates within communities. Low reporting in turn, leaves victims further exposed to violence and other rights violations. This culture of silence is prevalent in the informal settlement of Diepsloot where Diepsloot Youth Project (Diepsloot Youth Project) works. The GBV prevalence rates in Diepsloot are almost double than other parts of South Africa. Research conducted by the University of Witwatersrand revealed that 56% of the men surveyed admitted to committing some form of physical or sexual violence against a woman in the previous 12 months, with one third using both physical and sexual violence. A majority (60%) had enacted multiple instances of violence.
