The women behind WAR (Women Against Rape) are urging the community to join them at their two-day rape intervention awareness campaign.<\/p>\n
The campaign will run from Friday to Saturday at Bonchares Park, situated on the corner of Shamrock Road and Beaconsfield Avenue, in Primrose.<\/p>
In sticking to one of their objectives which is to run an array of empowerment platforms to ensure sustainable livelihoods for communities with a large focus on victim empowerment, they will run door-to-door intervention campaigns on Friday in Primrose.<\/p>\n
Festivities of the rally will end on Saturday with a fun run, hosted by Human Trafficking International (HTI) and the Anglican Women’s Fellowship (AWF).<\/p>
Awards will be presented to the first two pensioners and the first two children crossing the finish line, as well as the first man and woman.<\/p>\n
Residents can expect a jolly line-up of entertainment items such as Ingoma Zulu dance, a display of martial arts and Kwali dance.<\/p>\n
Refreshments will be served at the venue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe awareness campaign aims to mobilise active community support against abuse,\u201d said Kholiwe Dlamini, founder of HTI.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also seek to raise funds and create visibility for HTI, fight against human trafficking, embrace multi-disciplinary methods in dealing with victims and giving them support, as well as presenting an integrated approach that prevents and combats trafficking while assisting abused individuals.\u00a0\u201d<\/p>\n
For tickets and donations, call Kholiwe on 061 167 0810 or on 079 951 1664.<\/p>\n
