Following the recent horrid social media attacks that Miss SA finalist, Chidimma Adetshina has been facing, many organisations, celebrities and some members of parliament have come to her defence.
Sonke Gender Justice has released a statement defending the 23-year-old Soweto-born beauty.
The organisation says women and men, girls and boys can work together to resist patriarchy, advocate for gender justice, and achieve gender transformation.
The Miss SA finalist, Adetshina, has been subjected to xenophobic and afrophobic attacks because people on social media have been questioning her citizenship status and they want her removed from participating in the Miss SA pageant.
The attacks intensified on social media after what seemed like a video of her celebrating with her Nigerian family.
