A NATION wide initiative, organised by fledgling organisation, SA Women Fight Back, will see communities across the country gather for an hour of silence from 11am until 12pm on Saturday, 31 August to pay respect to the countless women needlessly lost to violent crimes in South Africa.
The Durban venue, Jameson Park, on Musgrave Road in Morningside, will be confirmed at the end of the week once a permit has been secured. Participants are requested to arrive at 10:30am dressed in black with their placards.

SA Women Fight Back was founded by on the 8 August this year when Meghan Cremer’s body was found.
The organisation’s Facebook page has since attracted over 82 000 members.
The vision behind SA Women Fight Back is to cultivate a united front among female citizens, against violent crimes and femicide.
Members have created private WhatsApp groups for their communities to this end. There are currently 24 groups running.
These groups are allowing us to create a clear vision vision and mobilizing real change from a grassroots level.
