In honour of Meghan Cremer, whose body was found in Philippi last year, a crowdfunding campaign has been created to raise funds for 30 women who will develop themselves through an empowering project.

Cape Town -

The project focuses on supporting and empowering survivors of rape and GBV through female empowerment workshops, mental health support, leadership skills and self-defence training. Justice Desk chief executive Jessica Dewhurst said: “The number of women and children murdered in South Africa mirrors those of countries at war. For many women, this femicide can only mean one thing - that men have declared war on the bodies of women."
