Women’s Day was commemorated with a special celebration of an anti-gender-based violence (GBV) campaign hosted at the community of Ridgeway to honour women and raise awareness of the scourge of GBV in local communities.
‘Women behind the mask’ was organised by Ayanda Ndimande – with the help of a dedicated team of leaders in the political fraternity and anti-GBV activists.
The anti-GBV awareness campaign was themed ‘Trauma 2 Triumph’, indicating support groups’ intentions to rescue survivors and victims from GBV and to grow community-driven efforts to heal and uplift survivors of trauma.
Attendees shared about GBV experiences they encountered in close circles and with their families.

The participants received gift bags as a token of appreciation and a reminder that they are not alone in their journey toward healing. The campaign demonstrated the power of communities uniting to support and uplift one another.
Ndimande said he is grateful for the support of Clr Rashieda Landis, Gayer Landis, Naeema Cassim, Abdul Manack and Sharon Ryan (life coaches, speakers and facilitators), Muhammad Reeza Kajee, and Faizaan Rangraze.
“Their support has not only enabled the success of this event but has also laid the foundation for a global movement toward healing and empowerment”, said Ndimande.
