THE PRICE OF FREEDOM FOR MANY WOMEN IS DEATH.
3 women are killed every day in the RSA. Many victims stay in an abusive relationship because they fear the consequences, if they leave. You have the right to choose FREEDOM. Contact POWA for support. POWA.co.za #POWA

The pandemic is here. And has been for years. Every 4 hours a woman is killed, 114 are raped and 360 physically and sexually abused, daily. This is a national crisis! Stand against GBV. Renounce your citizenship of the Republic of Sexual Abuse and support POWA. #POWA #pandemic

HOME IS NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN. There are brutal ramifications to the lockdown for many women in the RSA. Imagine being locked up with your abuser for 21 days? #GetOurCountryBack #RepublicOfSexualAbuse #POWA #Lockdown

Gender based violence is a frightening reality! Many live with their abusers and they rely on the abusers leaving the home for work or travel. With the Covid 19 they will be forced to be with their tormentors 24/7!
Check on them regularly! @POWA_ZA @jokoteasa
