Day #16

For over 40 years, POWA has stood beside survivors of GBV through counselling, legal support, safe accommodation, and advocacy. 

Today, we share a poem by Boitumelo, a survivor whose words echo strength, pain, and resilience carried by so many.
 
Our work continues because of the generosity of those who believe in a safer South Africa.

By donating, you help us provide life-changing services to women who need it most. Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference.
