In 2023, Ebony Analytics Africa was contracted by the South African Presidency and Masimanyane Women’s Rights International to script and produce a short documentary titled "Crafting African Solutions Together to End Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)", as part of the Decoloniality to Ending VAWG Project. The documentary was an advocacy tool targeting policy makers and other key stakeholders, and it sort to confront the deeply rooted issue of VAWG in Africa by examining the enduring impact of colonial legacies on social structures and gender norms. It emphasized the need to understand historical and societal contexts that perpetuate gender-based violence while advocating for the reclamation of freedom, equality, and justice through the African philosophy of Ubuntu, and a shared sense of humanity. By critiquing the colonial imagination that marginalizes diverse gender identities, the film called for urgent, broad-based interventions to challenge and dismantle harmful systems.
