Cases of gender-based violence, rape, murder and crimes against children have grabbed headlines across KwaZulu-Natal and South Africa as a whole in recent weeks.
Activists are demanding an end to femicide and other crimes against women and children.
They want to see government take a stronger stance against such crimes and ensure perpetrators are handed stronger sentences.
