| Abstract | Gender-based violence (GBV) scourge has been placed in the national agenda by the South African (SA) government. While SA continues to wrestle with GBV, there has deliberations among social work scholars, academics, and practitioners to Africanise social work education and practice. Despite this, there is paucity of research that investigates GBV from a decolonised and Afrocentric perspective. Moreover, the education and practice are still relying heavily on the Eurocentric approaches, interventions and methods which have been criticised by many scholars. Informed by the Afrocentric perspective, this paper seeks to reposition social work in the Pan African Agenda to rethink alternative strategies to curb GBV by tapping into the indigenous knowledge and resources. This paper calls for a need to return to the drawing board and determine how the current social work education and practice can be blended with a traditional African knowledge base, approaches, and models to curb GBV. |
