Gender - Author of “Never Quit, Never Give Up, My story” shares her story of survival

In today's show, as part of the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children campaign our show focused on the survivors of violence. The international campaign was established in 1991 by the Centre for Women‘s Global Leadership. “From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Let’s Challenge Militarism and End Violence against Women” is this year’s international theme while in SA it’s “Don’t look away Act against Abuse”. We spoke to Jane Paulsen - Author of “Never Quit, Never Give Up, My story” spoke to us about her book. Jane’s book shares in detail what happened to her eleven years ago when she was raped twice on separate occasions, falling pregnant through the 1st rape, assaulted and hijacked with a deadly weapon while pregnant, mentally and emotionally abused and suicidal attempts. The book can be purchased or ordered directly through Jane as it’s not available in stores and sells for R100 a copy. For further information you can send an email to paulse.jane@yahoo.com or leandropls369@gmail.com
