NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY
Today we spoke to Edwina Mataisen – Gender Training Facilitator. Many times people violate other’s rights. Rape incidents, murders and women abuse stories are around us everyday. Edwina does gender training with factory workers and is one of the few people trying to make a difference. It is important for everyone to know their rights. But remember a right comes with responsibilities. For more information or if you are interested in one of the workshops you can contact her at (021) 951 5823 or 073 120 7599.
And we also spoke to Betina Wyngaard – From the Women’s Legal Center. The women’s legal centre focuses on all kinds of issues facing women today. Some of these range from customary law, unfair discrimination, violence against women and domestic violence. For more information you can contact their offices at (021) 461 087 or visit their website at www.wlce.co.za
