This morning we were joined by Bernadine Bachar who runs the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women & Children.

Take a Step Against Gender Based Violence

We have partnered with 1st For Women for Take A Step on 30 November. The proceeds from the event go to the 1st For Women Foundation as well as the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children, to help with the vital work they do in assisting victims of gender based violence.

 

By supporting these organisations, we can all make a difference – and that’s exactly what we’re setting out to do.

Because every step you take is a voice.

Every step you take is support.

Every step you take leads towards change.
