21 November 2007 – Gender
Today on Sakhisizwe we spoke to Marlow Valentine – from Triangle Project. Marlow spoke to Bush Radio listeners about the 777 campaign. This campaign was inspired by the ongoing discrimination, abuse, killings and attacks on gays and lesbians specifically black lesbians in townships and rural communities. Marlow explained more about how they are highlighting this plight.

Then our last interview for this edition of Sakhisizwe was with Lungiswa Memela who is the Director of the Western Cape Network on Violence against Women. Lungiswa spoke to us about the 16 days of activism Campaign. The campaign challenges South Africans to declare a truc

It runs from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) through to International Human Rights Day on the December 10. The Western Cape Network on Violence against Women is an organization that unites and incorporates other organizations and individuals through advocacy, public awareness, training and support with a developmental approach in order to become conscious of women’s rights to a life without any form of violence.
