Reporting gender-based violence

Researched by the VarsityStart team from official university sources. Last checked 10 October 2026. How we check

TUT has adopted a zero tolerance policy against GBV, and Student Development and Support runs a GBVF Gender Desk, with psychosocial support from Health and Wellness. Higher Health's toll-free line is 0800 36 36 36. We could not confirm the full reporting procedure, so ask SDS on your campus.

Reported by (unofficial, around 2023): news reports describe a gender desk at the Arts Campus with a psychologist assigned, and a GBV Centre at Soshanguve was mentioned in 2024. Confirm that they still run.
