I refuse to let a crown just sit pretty. I will use every opportunity to shine a light on the darkest corners of our society, where too many women and children suffer in silence.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The link between GBV and Human Trafficking<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1486\" data-end=\"1832\">Oosthuizen is also well known for her work fighting human trafficking through her partnership with Shattering Shackles, one of South Africa\u2019s few organisations tackling this crime. She highlights how GBV and trafficking often intersect, particularly through sexual exploitation and partner control, leading to both emotional and physical abuse.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24175\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24175\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24175 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/11\/Talitha-Oosthuizen-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/11\/Talitha-Oosthuizen-2.jpg 624w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/11\/Talitha-Oosthuizen-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24175\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Verushka Singh as Mrs South Africa, on the right, Carika Bebb as 1st Princess and on the left, Talitha Oosthuizen as 2nd Princess.
