Loading player...
We closed up our on-air coverage of Sexual Harassment Week by bringing in back Duke Rasebopye, with ways to reach out for asssitance, and better empower yourself with knowledge.

For 25 years, Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) has united survivors, advocates and communities in a shared commitment to end sexual assault, abuse and harassment.

This year’s 25th‑anniversary theme, “25 Years Stronger: Looking Back, Moving Forward,” honours the history and growth of the movement while reaffirming our focus on prevention, healing and action.

At the University of Pretoria, Sexual Assault Awareness Week (SAAW) is our campus‑based contribution to this global campaign and to our institutional commitment to a safe, inclusive learning and working environment.

Duke holds a Master's degree in Development Practice and is a dedicated Diversity and Inclusion Specialist at the University of Pretoria.

In his role, he leads initiatives that align with the university's transformation and strategic objectives, focusing on programs that address discrimination, sexual harassment, and gender-based violence.

Duke also serves as the National Chairperson of the Gender Practitioners’ Community of Practice, where he collaborates on these critical issues across South Africa's public universities. His activism emphasises leadership development, community-based interventions, res orative justice, and mentoring young men in navigating their masculinities.
