[ 07 07 07 ]

Sitting alone today in the "shop", where the 07-07-07 campaign members organize their advocacy and media communications. Some of the most dedicated feminists are situated in here but currently on retreat for the day. We needed to make space for someone in the media room and I volunteered to work in this cold, cold and quiet room. Hopefully it's not haunted like most other sectors of this facility.

Today is spent drupaling and making data visualizations for the 2007 audit report.
In the "shop" by myself.

07-07-07 formed as a reaction to the murder of Sigasa and Massoa and named after the date of their killing (July 7, 2007). Together, members raise awareness among South African leaders and local communities about unfair violations on the LGBTI community.

Sigasa and Masooa's bodies were discovered by a jogger in a field in Meadowlands, Soweto, on Sunday 8 July. According to various reports, the couple, who were romantically involved, had been tortured, and possibly raped, before they were shot dead. No arrests have yet been made.
