Location: Pretoria, South Africa
Summary
Women in the poor, underserved community of Mabopane, South Africa are battling a war of gender-based violence and femicide. The "Ikemele" women empowerment project provides free skills training, counselling & practical support to help survivors of GBV rise above their circumstances & become financially independent - the key to walking away from an abusive situation. With the tragic increase in partner violence during COVID, vulnerable women need hope and a second chance more than ever before.
