Come with me to Soweto for International Day of the Girl Child 💜
We finally visited the home of GaOmo Girls’ Club, a sister organisation we’ve worked with for years. The girls trained hard, struck those pads with power 👊, met Lizzie, their AI Safety Companion, and heard from the fab Miss B 🔥 of the Tshegofatso P**e Foundation about support for GBV survivors.
Thank you, GaOmo Girls for the incredible work you do. ✨

We’re live on SABC 2 tomorrow!

Tomorrow, I-LEAD Self Defense will be joining Our Space on SABC 2 for a conversation and live demonstration on self-defense and personal safety.

We’ll be sharing skills with young people — helping them think about awareness, preparedness, creating an opportunity to escape, and getting to safety.

For the past 14 years, I-LEAD has taken self-defense and safety education into schools, workplaces and communities across South Africa.

Tomorrow, we get to take that message into homes across the country. 🇿🇦

📅 Wednesday, 30 September
⏰ LIVE | 16:00–16:30

Tune in and join us.
