Wow! Today was hectic but exciting because the crew had facilitated two long but informative workshops. Women were empowered and informed about acting against abusers as well as rape.We started off at De Doorns and ended the day in Rawsonville.

 Kathy had facilitated the first workshop of the day, on the Criminal Justice System as well as rape in general. Farm workers were informed about their rights and they were empowered and motivated to start their own forum/organisation.

The second workshop took place at Rawsonville at the library, where community members as well as farm workers participated.

Rifqah had organised pamphlets to be displayed, so that participants could take the information on rape, the law and domestic violence away with them.
