The foundation is South Africa’s first anti-GBV initiative that takes women from victim to warriors in 12 weeks.

The NGO specialises in getting women through the trauma in an intensive and well-researched 12-week programme.

“We help women get past the punch through an individualised 12-week programme that combats GBV through the implementation of a set of multi-sectoral responses. We also implore society to consider ways in which GBV doesn’t necessarily manifest physically,” said co-founder Nicole Bessick.

Bessick and her business partner Kinesh Maharaj joined forces and expertise to draw up a unique, accessible solution to benefit victims of abuse.

This November, powered by the Sport For Social Change Network (SSCN), the foundation launched the podcast in solidarity of the national 16 Days of Activism Against Women and Child Abuse.

As a network that acts as an accelerator for NGOs and CBOs working in the sector, the SSCN uses sport as a vehicle for social change.

The podcast will consist of four episodes that part ways with legal knowledge, in ways that are practical and easy to follow.

After rigorous research on the anatomy of abuse cycles, the foundation designed a multi-sectoral approach to combat GBV, empower the victim and rebuild the ‘legs’ or pillars that are typically disenfranchised as a result of abuse in relationships.

“These pillars have been identified as psychological, financial, legal and physical. This year, the foundation has partnered with experts in these various sectors to provide tangible service to women in need,” said Bessick.
