My study intentions are very clear. To advance my knowledge through conducting research that will contribute positively to my community and reduce health-psychosocial stressors that are threatening to human health. And for that, I believe that I am a suitable candidate to be offered an opportunity to present based on my career field and my passion towards the social work profession. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate and working as a Trial Clinical Social Worker on various adolescent health, drug use prevention, and multilevel HIV prevention projects at Africa Health Research Institute. The concentration of my work and being exposed to clinical trials is greatly related and focuses on social work and public health which is to address human health aspects. Thank you for your consideration.

Abstract
The interface between patriarchy, gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa: A review of existing literature
THEME 3: Strategies toward the normative development of society
SUB 3.1 Promoting egalitarianism in intimate and other relationships as responses to Gender-based violence and femicide
Poster Presentation
Introduction: Egalitarianism is a philosophical perspective that advocates against the leading factors of GBV and femicide, which are patriarchy and elite. Statistics show that women are more susceptible to gender-based violence (GBV). Gender-inequality has been observed to be ahistorical and eternal, with little focus on how its complexity contributes to GBV and femicide. Therefore, this review aims to explore how egalitarianism in intimate and other relationships can fight against GBV and femicide.
Methods: Literature search from various databases was used. Retrieved articles were screened to incorporate peer-reviewed and grey literature. Thematic analyses were conducted on relevant studies with a focus on promoting egalitarianism as response to GBV and femicide.
Result and Discussion: The screened studies revealed that in cultures where patriarchy is exercised, it grooms boys under the mindset of being dominant which leads them to be aggressive toward females while girls are passive, subordinate, and dependent. This somehow shapes women to be economically vulnerable, and inferior in refusing any form of GBV.
Conclusion: Gender-inequality and exposure to GBV increase the risk of femicide in our communities. Religious leaders and community-based organizations can be used as medium of communication to promote egalitarianism in communities.
Keywords: Egalitarianism; Patriarchy; Gender-based violence; Femicide.
