Abstract
Some of the most renowned activists and scholar-activists working in this environment attended this historic event. These activists took stock of policies and identified approaches to eliminate crimes directed against lesbians. The group analysed the vocabulary used to speak about these issues in South Africa, examined different campaigns aimed at ending violence against lesbians and presented recommendations for ongoing policy and advocacy development.-
