Khanya College - Anti-Bullying workshop

The anti-bullying workshop for schools aimed to understand the sources of bullying, how and where bullying takes place from the point of view of bullies, victims of bullying, and those who witness bullying.

More than just understanding the sources, the workshop was also about finding collective ways to respond to these issues and to create safe spaces for youth to learn

Thank you to the youth for their openness and for sharing their stories with us. It is through sharing that we begin to find solutions.

Khanya College: Women, Health & GBV Public Dialogue at PUSH, Eldorado Park

Today, 78 women and youth gathered at PUSH in Eldorado Park for a public dialogue.

In our society, women still carry the heaviest burden of unpaid labour at home and in communities. Women and youth spoke about how social determinants of health, like poor housing, unemployment, lack of education, and violence against women, leave them feeling oppressed and bearing the brunt of poor health.

The big question was: Is there really a cause to celebrate Women’s Day?

Women and youth shared their experiences around health and GBV, in communities and at school, and discussed how to begin organising for better health conditions in their communities.
