The Night of Confessions ‘Women to men’ event in partnership with an online radio station Reality Waves will tackle several hot topic issue which include when women love, women and their creativity, equality a lost cause, women behind closed doors, what women needs; a man cries, women mostly win arguments but loses her man etc,” Hlole added.
She further explains that through this event, women will not be alone through their confessions. “There are women abused, women tortured and women violated, we need to all stand up and say ‘enough-is-enough- with the brutality.
