The Women For Change run aims to bring women together for a better future. As we continue 16 days of activism this month, we focus on how we can create a better and safer environment for women and children.
The Women For Change was started by South Africa’s largest running community ‘Catch Me If You Can’ as a way to speak out against gender-based violence. The running club is now the largest all-women club in South Africa. The women in the club unite to protect each other and to stand up against gender-based violence. The Women For Change 5/8km Run takes place in Sandton City on Saturday.
Catch Me If You Can launched their #WomenForChange Anti-Rape Campaign with Ster-Kinekor. The trailer is in support with the Women For Change 5/8km Runs in Sandton City and Cape Town. To reach the masses, Women For Change has partnered with Ster-Kinekor and invited Influencers and Artists such as Leanne Dlamini, Ntsiki Mazwai, Enolicia Strever and Mojabeng Senekal along with the founder of the Tears Foundation, Mara Glennie to speak up about what it means to be a woman in South Africa.
Women For Change has invited Artist, Musician and Activist Ntsiki Mazwai to speak up about what it means to be a woman in South Africa.
“I became an Ambassador for Women For Change because I am a woman, and I am a woman for women. I am a woman who stands with women.” Ntsiki Mazwai said.
