Hi Global Citizen,


I’m Sibongiseni Sibanda, and fourteen years ago, an extraordinary woman named
Mam’Khanyi gave me a second chance at life.



She offered me safety, gave me a place to call home, encouraged me to go to
school, and ensured I had food every day while being surrounded by a loving
family – all priceless treasures I never had before.



This is why I am an activist. I have watched Mam’Khanyi give so many girls
like me the confidence that they too can be strong, independent women who
contribute to society.



Mam’Khanyi's activism showed us that child trafficking and violence against
women are preventable and that we can change a system that works against us.



But this is only possible when we band together to ensure that the rights of
girls everywhere are defended and protected.You can start now by taking this
challenge. <[link removed]>



In my home country of South Africa, gender-based violence is regarded as a
second pandemic while child trafficking, which affects children as young as 10,
has been becoming more prevalent every year.



These are injustices Mam’Khanyi and her fearless warriors of caregivers fight
against daily. For 22 years they have been upholding the rights and freedoms of
women and girls. They have been fighting systems that rob children of their
childhood and future. And they have inspired me to continue their legacy of
activism.



We need your help. Join us over the next few days, and let’s help girls
reclaim their freedom. <[link removed]>

With immense hope,

Sibongiseni Sibanda, Home of Hope for Girls, and the Global Citizen Team
