Lethulwazi Secondary School learners received sanitary towels from the SAPS and various NPOs during the school talk about gender-based violence (GBV), substance abuse and bullying at Extension 10, Vosloorus, on February 23.
According to Vosloorus SAPS communications officer Cst Nompumelelo Nhlapo, the talk was meant to engage with the learners to guide them about the choices they make, safety tips, drugs, alcohol abuse, school safety and different types of GBV.
The stakeholders included Vosloorus SAPS Social Crime Prevention, communications officer, Keep a Girl Child in School, SANCA, Ekupholeni Organisation, Ithemba Community Organisation, GBV Brigades, Vosloorus Spruitview, Business against Crime and Community Safety.
Along with an ex-drug addict who spoke about his experiences, they handed over sanitary towels to girls who are from disadvantaged families.
