Kriya Gangiah is bringing her furry friend along to the 1st for Women Sisters with Blisters
As we Roar for the Cause for this years 1st for Women Sisters with Blisters, the JacaFamily explains how abuse is more then just a word but rather has deep implications that affect the people around us.
Every year, from 25 November to 10 December, the world turns its attention to the plight of abused women. Much is done during this brief time to raise awareness, expose this social tragedy and campaign for equality, but is it enough? A bruise can heal in 16 days but for the survivors of abuse, the veiled emotional scars last a lifetime.
More can and must be done to highlight this injustice. Together, as a sisterhood, we need to start driving more meaningful change in the lives of victims and survivors of abuse and start putting the women of South Africa first.
