Advocacy trough the tragic scars of abuse
'Scars Tell A Story' movement expresses the hurt through art so audiences can see and feel how women and children are being abused.
Dobsonville women hosted an event aimed at raising awareness about the myriad of issues women suffer at the hands of abusive partners.
According to the event founder Kamohelo Molefe, their similar events are held in different communities on a countrywide scale, but these have little to significant impact on the lives of abuse victims.
Woman showcases scars of abuse perpetrated by men.
Molefe said, “We started this movement where participants show off artificial scars to give a voice to the countless women who suffer in silence and to illustrate how deep the scars of abuse run.”
As the ‘Scars Tell A Story’ movement, they express the hurt through art so audiences can see and feel how women and children are being abused.
“Our mandate is to help those who are fighting silent battles daily,” said Molefe.
“To the victims out there whose voices are still not being heard, there is still time to stand up and speak out,” said Yoliswa Motaung.
“We are living in a new era in which women can be independent and receive the help they need,” she added.
Kamohelo Monareng urged the community to support women and children who are constantly being raped and abused.
