Gender-based violence and femicide
Silence is not enough.
Violence against women demands a response. Drive4Her brings Cape Town’s motoring community together to take a public stand and raise funds for work against it.
The reality in South Africa
Every 2 to 3 hours.
That is how often a woman is estimated to be killed in South Africa.

The cause comes first.
The inaugural Cape Town motorcade is a way for this community to be seen standing with women. The goal is to raise funds for work against gender-based violence and femicide, and to carry that responsibility beyond the day itself.
Stand together
Drivers, partners and supporters commit to a public stand against violence towards women.
Make it visible
A curated Cape Town motorcade brings that message into public view.
Fund the response
Fundraising opens when the receiving organisation and giving arrangements are confirmed.
Why this community?
Responsibility starts with us.
Violence against women cannot be left for women to confront alone.
The automotive world gives men a visible space to speak to other men. We can use it to challenge the attitudes and behaviours that allow gender-based violence to persist.
Stand with women.
Speak to one another.
A community with a role to play.
The motorcade is curated for high-performance drivers. The stand against gender-based violence belongs to everyone willing to act, including partners, private supporters and advocates.
- Performance drivers
- Private collectors
- Automotive partners
- Corporate supporters
- Volunteers
- Advocates
Fundraising with clarity.
The organisation that will receive funds has not been selected yet.
We will name the beneficiary and explain the donation arrangements before asking anyone to give. Driver participation is also being finalised.
Private supporters and organisations interested in making a significant contribution can learn how to stand alongside the initiative.
The stand continues after the drive.
Understand why this community has a responsibility to act.
