Help Human Rights Screened Foundation by Female Toiletary Items for 180 GBV Self Defence Female Offenders across W. Cape
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
AUGUST - WOMEN'S MONTH "HRSF VICTIMS TO VICTOR" ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS: Many of the women incarcerated in correctional centres —especially those imprisoned due to GBV-related self-defence—live in environments where dignity, softness, and self-care are deeply lacking. Pamper products may seem small, but they play a powerful role in restoring humanity, offering comfort, and helping these women reconnect with their self-worth. For women who have survived trauma and now find themselves isolated behind bars, basic self-care becomes a radical act of healing. These products are often in short supply, shared communally, or absent altogether—especially items like lip balm or petroleum jelly. Each pamper pack will be part of a dignity and healing bundle offered to 30 selected women per facility (6 facilities total) during our August roundtable program. The sessions will include: • Short, powerful visual screenings that explore healing, dignity, and survival • Moderated roundtable discussions facilitated by trained volunteers and trauma-informed leaders • Opportunities for the women to reflect, share, and begin healing • A closing ritual of self-care where they receive and use the pamper products.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
