As we find ourselves once again trying to raise awareness and reduce incidents
of violence against women and children, there is a crucial factor we sometimew
forget. Often we find women trapped in a cycle of violence because they do not have
the financial means to escape it.
They are often relying on their abuser for food, shelter, clothing or even
employment.

Africa Melane talks to Noel Desfontaines gen sec at Hospersa

The festive season is upon us and sadly that also means peak season for our
already overworked rescue and health care workers.
But the men and women who are trained to save you and me in a medical
emergency have been brutally targeted in recent months.
Paramedics have been robbed at gunpoint, firefighters attacked and in a
heartbreaking case last month, little Faigon Mentoor died two days before his
eight birthday because robbers attacked the ambulance he was being
transported in. The boy had been in a car accident and the robbery cost his
rescuers those crucial few minutes that may have saved his life.
