Our work on Gender Based Violence
Gender-Based Violence a Problem
In Southern Africa, it is a norm that a woman and a child should be beaten to enforce discipline. We see daily that 8 out 10 women are being brutally beaten and killed.
This often leads to death and a high number of Gender-Based Violence cases reported to the National Police Service daily.
What to do to address Gender Based Violence
As a youth development organisation, we see this as a task ahead of us to restore hope, dignity and to provide economic empowerment to these young women.
