Parents, Families and Friends of South African Queers Join Soweto Pride GroundUp_News: SouthAfrica LGBTQI Soweto Pride
Raising public awareness of prejudice, harassment and violence towards gay people was a key aim of the 18th Soweto Pride celebration, held on Saturday 24 September.
Azania Sengwayo, executive director of Vaal LGBTI, said,"We live in these townships which are very violent towards queer bodies. So marching is a form of saying we are here, we exist. It's a political programme." The protest marchers paused outside the Dobsonville police station where they hoped to address the station commander, but no police representative made themselves available. A moment of silence for victims was held after a list of names of people who had been murdered was read out.
