Women's support Centre

Masimanyane Women's Support Centre is a non-profit international women's organisation based in East London, South Africa. With a specific focus on violence against women, sexual and reproductive health and rights and the gendered nature of HIV and Aids, we aim to build the capacity of women and human rights advocates to claim and realise women's human rights. This is done through the development of new knowledge and the utilisation of a rights-based approach.

SAPS, NPA gain new vista on trafficking

Methods for tackling the issue of human trafficking are still to be established in South Africa. And since the World Cup is around the corner, Masimanyane has called upon Professor Susan Kreston to educate members of the South African Police Service (SAPS), the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), professors from the University of Forth Hare and counsellors on this phenomenon.

The shipping container of solace

For fifteen years Masimanyane Women’s Support Centre has been influential in reshaping the social landscape in South Africa, particularly with issues related to women’s rights. The organisation would not have made it this far had it not been for the tireless efforts of its counsellors, educators and administrative personnel. Here, we present the first in our monthly series of profiles featuring the very staff members that make Masimanyane the vanguard in the enforcement of women’s rights.
