REPORT:
Situated on the border of Salt Lake and West End, Dower Campus was formerly a training college for teachers and remains very well equipped. The setup for the #NoExcuse workshop was the best of the three Eastern Cape Colleges with audio visual and PA system provided and students well organised.
Biggest challenges you face:
“Men belittling and not respecting me.”
“Not feeling safe around men..”
“Not being valued.”
“Men feeling entitled to me as a woman as if it’s their birthright.”
“Being judged for other people’s bad behaviour.”
“NBeing falsely accused of sexually assaulting a woman.”
What will you change?

“How I perceive women in the world.”
“Treat everyone equal no matter what their gender.”
“Become a better man and tell others about GBV.”
“Get out of abusive relationships and stand on my word.”
“The way I think about masculinity and the way I treat others.”
“I will stop abusing.”
“I will learn to love and respect others.”
“When a man beats you it’s ok to leave him.”
“To be there for my family not just financially.”
