In Loving Memory · Founder
The Late Mrs Rosy Chettier
Committed to Justice, Equality & Safer Communities
Founded in October 2010 and formally registered with the Department of Social Development on 31 January 2019, The Daniella Simone Keisha Group NPO was established to fill a critical gap — there were no GBVF organisations serving the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal.
We are dedicated to combating gender-based violence and femicide while promoting justice, equality, and human dignity. We provide support, advocacy, and community-based initiatives that empower individuals and strengthen families.
Recognised by the Soul City Institute for Social Justice, our programmes have achieved a 40% improvement in outcomes, serving individuals across northern and southern KZN hotspots.

Understanding Gender-Based Violence
GBV includes any act which results in physical, sexual, psychological, or economic abuse based on gender. Silence hides violence — speak up, get help, stay safe.
Physical Violence
Slapping, punching, kicking, battery, use of weapons, murder, sexual acts including rape and marital rape, genital mutilation, and human trafficking.
Emotional / Psychological
Shouting, ridicule and humiliation, verbal insults, denial of education, forced marriages, and controlling movement or association.
Economic Deprivation
Denying access to employment or education, failure to provide for family, refusal to pay maintenance, and financial control or sabotage.
It’s NOT Your Fault. You Are NOT Alone.
If you are experiencing violence, reach out immediately. Help is available right now.
