Taking a Stand Against GBV

Posted on Wed November 26, 2025.

On Friday, 21 November, the Cango Wildlife team came together for an important moment of unity and awareness. From 12:00 to 13:00, the women on our grounds paused their work to take part in the National Women for Change G20 Shutdown. The hour created intentional space for reflection, education, and emotional support.

Across the facility, our team wore purple ribbons. The colour purple symbolises courage, dignity, and the collective stand against Gender-Based Violence. It is a reminder that every voice matters, every story matters, and every individual has the right to safety and respect.

During this time, our male staff stepped in to manage operations. Their willingness to take over work duties ensured that the women could gather without interruption. More importantly, it reinforced the message that GBV is not a women’s issue. It is a community issue that requires shared responsibility and unified action.

We were honoured to welcome guest speakers from FAMSA, who offered guidance, insight, and practical resources. Their presence helped create a safe, informed environment for open conversation. As a gesture of appreciation and care, the women were also treated to snacks and refreshments.

The hour was simple, quiet, and deeply meaningful. Listening. Supporting. Standing together. These are the foundations on which change is built.

Cango Wildlife remains committed to fostering a workplace rooted in safety, dignity, and hope - for every person who walks through our gates.
