VEREENIGING. – Local pub (Cow & Bull) in Three Rivers in association with Skydda Tactical Security have started a self-defense for women initiative in an effort to empower women by providing the necessary tools and knowledge needed to be able to protect themselves.

|They are looking for involvement of other companies or organisations that could assist with the fight against gender based violence.

They need the expertise of lawyers, therapists, councillors, or anyone who feels the need to help with this initiative.
They would also like to get female business owners to get involved.

“When we host an event, the idea is to have the students see the involvement of others and also see the network that is available to them for support,” the organisers explain.

Skydda has approached #POWA as well as the Department of Social Development on the same initiative to have them approved and join.

At this stage they are looking for people/companies who can contribute with the “training” by giving advice on precautions to be taken or maybe knowledge about healing in terms of someone who has gone through a traumatic event in the past.

In the event of companies wanting to join the initiative but you do not specialise in any of these, yet still feels strongly towards our initiative, any form of sponsor in terms of printing, promotion or fiscal sponsor for us to build on this initiative will be absolutely great.

The next training session is schedule for 28 August at Cow & Bull, 137 General Hertzog Road, Three Rivers, Vereeniging.
