Summary

edit
Description

Cape Town's Valhalla Park is a “coloured” community where many young people growing up see gangs as the only option. “Coloured” is how people of mixed race heritage describe themselves in South Africa. Violence is increasing between townships as many coloured people feel they are the most disadvantaged within society.

Background

In March 2013 the United Nation's Commission on the Status of Women will meet to discuss how to prevent all forms of violence against women and girls.

This International Women's Day, help demand action by sending a message to global leaders that it's time to put a stop to this worldwide injustice.

UK aid is working in 21 countries to address physical and sexual violence against women and girls and will be supporting 10 million women and girls with improved access to security and justice services by 2015.
