Resilience of a Woman GBV Dialogue

he Eyomphakathi Foundation's "Resilience of a Woman GBV Dialogue" program has been a catalyst for breaking the silence surrounding sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Umlazi. Through open discussions and storytelling, this initiative offers a safe space for women to share their experiences and insights. The program goes beyond surface-level conversations to delve into the complex dynamics of SGBV, aiming to develop strategies for prevention and support. One powerful story from the program is that of Thandeka, a survivor of SGBV who found healing and empowerment through the dialogue. She shared her journey, which resonated with many others and led to collective healing. Thandeka's resilience inspired other women to break the cycle of violence and work towards building safer lives for themselves and their communities. The "Resilience of a Woman" program is a testament to the strength and determination of women who have faced adversity. Through this initiative, the Eyomphakathi Foundation is fostering dialogue, promoting understanding, and driving positive change within the community.
