The platform has grown familiar in respect of the challenges that women face in South Africa.
We believe that women face a myriad of challenges especially on workplaces within the environment that they occupy.
The prevalence of the concept of Corporate GBV #CorporateGBV is often overlooked in workspaces.
Through mentorship activities that pay it forward for young professionals entering the Corporate Space, coaching sessions from Corporate experts and surveys, it has become evident that the abuse against women in the workplace is unfortunately well and alive.
Psychological abuse in particular is often subtle with ill intention offen attached to it.
The government of South Africa has promulgated an act that all employers must comply with called xxxxx.
A copy of the act can be found here:

Founder, Kovini Moodley reflects and notes that as a professional, Corporate GBV has unfortunately been a part of her lived experiences and reiterates that Corporate culture based on her Risk Management is the defining factor in the ” tone at the top” that differentiates leaders in the industry.

The platform @corporateGBV will be found on both Instagram and LinkedIn and will aim to encourage survivors to speak up and raise awareness and solutions on this silent pandemic.

Johannesburg, 18 November 2025
In its continued mission to combat the national crisis of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Femicide, influential digital movement Boss Babes of South Africa is amplifying its voice by standing firmly with Women for Change and other leading civil society organisations. As Women for Change drives national action through high-impact campaigns like the G20 Women’s Shutdown, Boss Babes of South Africa, founded by Kovini Moodley, reinforces this urgent call for systemic reform and heightened accountability. This alignment signals an escalated, unified fight against the devastating impact of GBV across all sectors of South African society.
Boss Babes of South Africa calls on civil society, private sector leaders, and citizens across the nation to stand with unwavering commitment. This fight requires sustained action, shared responsibility, and genuine compassion. It is a collective responsibility that demands more than mere awareness.
“Our fight is only as powerful as the community that chooses to stand behind it. Every act of solidarity, every message shared, and every individual who speaks out contributes to the collective force required for real change. Every woman who shares her story, every ally who speaks up, and every community that stands united moves South Africa closer to real and lasting change,” shares Moodley.
Boss Babes of South Africa asserts that GBV and Femicide are not merely isolated acts but direct consequences of deep-seated structural inequality and profound threats to South Africa’s social cohesion and economic stability. The urgency of this crisis is staggering. Just this year alone, 40,035 women were raped, placing the country 4th globally in absolute numbers.
As an award-winning Risk Expert and Chartered Accountant SA, Moodley is leveraging her professional insight to expose and combat this structural and emotional abuse pervasive in corporate environments.
Drawing on her own lived experience of workplace intimidation after raising an ethical concern, Moodley stresses a core problem. Retaliation against those who speak out remains alarmingly common and often normalized.
Boss Babes of South Africa is determined to use its platform to support women enduring Corporate GBV, intending to initiate collaborations with leading labour experts, psychologists, and psychiatrists. This multi-disciplinary approach will provide targeted support to victims and transform painful experiences into actionable lessons for young professionals navigating challenging environments. Moodley notes she was able to turn her painful experiences into lessons that she shares with her young mentees.
To generate mass awareness and accountability in the workplace, Moodley is preparing to launch a documentary on her experiences titled Corporate GBV. The film aims to serve as a stark national reminder regarding the misuse of power, compliance failures, and toxic conduct relatable to countless women in Corporate South Africa.
“Workplaces must evolve into psychologically safe spaces where ethical concerns and diverse viewpoints are welcomed without fear of intimidation,” Moodley adds. She stresses that in 2025 and beyond, structural and cultural reform is urgently needed, and the leadership tone remains the decisive factor in shaping healthy, accountable corporate environments.
Boss Babes team and collaborative partners will be lending their unwavering support to the Women for Change campaign on 21 November 2025.

Boss Babes of South Africa Launches ” Corporate GBV” a platform of shared hope, lessons and life insights.
Boss Babes of South Africa whose audience of over 80 000 accross LinkedIn and Instagram are women from accross walks of life but also a significant number of corporate warriors. These are women who are skilled and tenured accross various institutions and companies.
Now in its fifth year, Boss Babes of South Africa has grown into a powerful digital empowerment platform, reaching over millions of views via organic reach per month on Instagram and LinkedIn in combination. The platform continues to amplify the voices and lived experiences of women across the country, using its influence to drive awareness, education, and meaningful advocacy.
Drawing on multiple industry insights and her own personal experience with Corporate GBV, platform founder Kovini Moodley describes Corporate GBV as a “silent pandemic” that thrives behind closed doors. She receives daily messages via LinkedIn from women across South Africa who are grappling with severe psychological and emotional harm inflicted within their workplaces.
Moodley highlights that Corporate GBV manifests in a range of harmful behaviours, including workplace bullying, intimidation, coercion, harassment, and sexual harassment. She notes that perpetrators are often men in positions of power who misuse their authority to undermine, belittle, or intimidate women—particularly high-performing professionals who are unfairly viewed as threats.
She further warns that some superiors treat women as mere “objects,” leading to conduct that violates fundamental labour law principles and ethical governance standards in South Africa.
Thousands of women face similar patterns of abuse, yet these cases are frequently concealed to protect perpetrators and preserve organisational reputations. Moodley stresses the importance of understanding labour rights, seeking expert guidance, and refusing to normalise emotional and psychological abuse in the workplace. “It is 2025,” she says, “and women cannot still be subjected to these oppressive and harmful practices.”
Workplaces have a legal obligation to uphold the principles outlined in South Africa’s good governance frameworks. However, women who choose to speak up are often sidelined, verbally attacked, mobbed by colleagues, or ultimately forced out of their jobs. Labels such as “difficult” or “aggressive” are routinely weaponised to discredit victims and minimise their contributions.
Moodley emphasises that bully culture begins at the top. Without ethical leadership and accountability, no workplace can claim to be safe, compliant, or committed to transformation. She calls for the eradication of toxic power dynamics and the creation of psychologically safe environments where women can thrive, excel, and take up space without fear.
Based on various sources accross industry and Ms Moodley’s, own personal experiences with Corporate GBV, she notes it as being a silent pandemic in South Africa. Every day I receive numerous messages via Linkedin direct messages around the unfortunate impact of Corporate GBV, within Corporate SA. Moodley notes that Corporate GBV amounts to various facets such as workplace bullying, intimidation, threat and instances of harrassment and sexual harassment. She notes the perpetrators have been men in positions of power who choose to misuse their power and demean and belittle women. She notes often top performers are seen as easy targets for bullies, who see them as threats as opposed to exceptional individuals who add value.
She notes that some superiors see women as mere “objects” and hence display conduct and inferences that lead to Non-Compliance of labour law principles in South Africa.
Moodley notes that thousands of women are facing similar issues to her own and the scourge of this silent pandemic is often swept under the carpet to protect the perpetrators. She notes that having a clear understanding of labour law principles and engaging experts to support one can be most helpful. It’s 2025 and we as professional women cannot still be subject to such emotional and psychological abuse.
Workplaces have a duty to comply with the principles stipulated in the good governance practices handbook enacted by law.
Often women who choose to.speak up about key issues are sidelined, verbally abused, mobbed by other colleagues and eventually bullied out of organisations.
She notes that stereotypes such as ” difficult ” ” aggressive ” and other tropes are quick to be cast upon victims to destabilize and diminish their worth and impact.
Bully culture stems from.the tone at.the top of an organisation, and needs to be rooted out to create psychological safe environments for women to.thrive and shine in the spaces that they take up.
