Durban unites against child abuse and gender-based violence
Get dressed in black and wear a gold ribbon and join the #OneVoice march on Wednesday, 30 August at King Dinizulu Park from 8am.
DURBAN is to set to make a powerful global statement in August, Women’s Month, when women from around the world converge on the city in a unified stand against child abuse and gender-based violence.
Mrs Universe contestants from 84 countries will join NGO’s, women’s groups, civil society bodies and members of the public for the #OneVoice march in the city centre on Wednesday, 30 August.
Dressed in black and wearing a gold ribbon, the women will gather at King Dinizulu Park from 8am and make their way to the Durban City Hall at 10am to speak out in #OneVoice on behalf of the millions of women and children worldwide who have suffered, and continue to suffer, at the hands of their abusers.
“We want governments, communities, civil society groups, men and women to join forces to protect our women and children. This is an international outcry; a global declaration that enough is enough,” said Mrs Universe 2017 hosting director, Africa and uMhlanga resident, Tracey-Anne Aggett.”
The Mrs Universe 2017 World Final takes place at Durban’s Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre on 2 September 2017.
