Comment from SAWFB

SA Women Fight Back are proud to be standing alongside Kindred in their fight against Gender-Based Violence. For too long victims of GBV have remained silent, and it is time to break the silence. We cannot fight this alone and we need to Stand Up as a nation and say that Enough is Enough. Let us turn our words into actions and Stand Up against GBV.
