UNITE with thousands of South Africans at the annual 1st for Women Sisters with Blisters walk taking place on March 10 at St Stithians College in Sandton.
Entries are now open and available for Johannesburg. The 1st for Women Sisters with Blisters walk is taking place at the time of International Women’s Day, as it is the perfect opportunity to show strength in numbers and unite with all women from around the world and show support for the international sisterhood.
The walk is dedicated to the upliftment, advancement and empowerment of women. In order to move forward, we have to remove the difficulties which are holding us back. Women abuse is a social tragedy which has reached epidemic proportions, not only locally but globally too, and it urgently needs to be addressed so that women are empowered to go forward together.
Funds raised from the events will be donated to three non-profit organisations which are making a meaningful effort to support women and children who have been abused. They are Lawyers Against Abuse in Gauteng and the Centre for Community and Justice Development in KwaZulu-Natal. Jacaranda FMs charity, Women and Men Against Child Abuse, will also be a beneficiary of the funds raised.
The theme for this year’s #SisterWithBlisters walk is ‘Together let’s #GiveAbuseTheBoot’. When we come together through our collective efforts we will be able to find the solutions to give abuse the boot for good. It encourages men, women, children and their four-legged friends to unite and show their support during the 5km walks.
Online entry ends on March 1 and it costs R110 per adult and R35 for children under 12 and pensioners over 60. Contact 011 234 7860 or email support@fourdmarketing.co.za for more information.
