A new University of the Witwatersrand study reveals how female entrepreneurs are keeping Westbury's economy alive amid chronic gang warfare. Researcher Ilene Abrams found that local businesswomen face extreme mobility restrictions and emotional trauma, yet successfully bypass these barriers through informal community networks.

The study provides a vital blueprint for tailored policy interventions in South Africa's high-risk townships. For more on the research. We spoke to Ilene Abrams, a Wits Masters Graduate whose thesis titled- Resilience in Ganglands: Strategies and Coping Mechanism of Female Entrepreneurs in Westbury, focused on women entrepreneurs
