Learners gain confidence at women’s event
Community members and learners in Regents Park came together to celebrate women and promote self-love.
The Circle of Sisters hosted a Women’s Month celebration in the Regents Park Primary School hall in The Hill on August 29.
The event, attended by many women from the community, was a success, with attendees dressing in pastel colours as per the theme.
Ward 57 Clr Faeeza Chame attended to promote self-love and hygiene. Female SAPS officers spoke to the learners about safety and protection, and taught them about how to report a rape or ask for help.
The highlight was a panel discussion on women’s health and wellness, featuring teachers from around Joburg, Chame and community members, with attendees participating in the Q&A session.
Principal Karl Schofield spoke about empowering young female learners, “We want to empower and uplift our young girls. They need to be learning and growing in a good environment,” said Schofield.
The celebration saw the attendees leave, feeling inspired and empowered.
The organisation is commended for celebrating women’s achievements and creating a platform for female learners to support one another.
