Women’s Shutdown
Before the G20 meets, South African women will silence the nation.
WOMEN FOR CHANGE
How Can I Participate?
On 21 November 2025, you can take part by doing one or more of the following:
• Don't work. No paid or unpaid labour.
• Don't spend money and withdraw from the economy for one day.
• Join the 15-Minute Standstill by lying down for 15 minutes at 12 pm to honour the 15 women murdered every day and bring South Africa to a complete standstill.
• Wear black to stand in mourning and resistance.
• Change your profile picture to purple to make the Shutdown visible online.
• Share. Share. Share. Make the Shutdown impossible to ignore. Talk about it, share our posters using #WomenShutdown
One day. One message. Without women.
We stand in solidarity with you, from #Canada to #SouthAfrica.
