Today, we’re joined by Lesley Anne Foster, Director of the Masimanyane Women’s Support Centre in the Eastern Cape, to discuss the state of gender-based violence in the province and nationwide. Lesley Anne has been a driving force in advocating for women’s safety and rights, providing not only crisis intervention but also ongoing support to survivors. She’ll be sharing insights into the services available to victims, the systemic issues perpetuating GBV, and what is being done—and what needs to be done—to protect those most at risk.
