A mother felt alone and didn't know how to help her daughter. Then she saw a TEARS Foundation billboard with a number that changed everything. Thank you to Earworm for sharing this powerful true story & helping more survivors and their loved ones know that support is available.

On Saturday, 30 May, we welcomed a remarkable group of new volunteers to TEARS Foundation. These are people who have chosen to stand with survivors and help us fight gender-based violence. Every volunteer strengthens our mission to create safer communities and restore hope.

Safe children thrive. Protected children grow. 📞08000 83277 #ChildProtectionWeek #tearsfoundation

Every child deserves to feel safe. In SA, reporting suspected abuse isn’t just moral, it’s a legal duty under the Children’s Act 38 of 2005. 1 in 3 children experience sexual abuse. See something. Say something. Act. Contact us: 📞 08000 83277 #ChildProtectionWeek💙

Abusers are often known, trusted, and respected. This makes it harder, but even more critical, to speak up. No title, status, or relationship should shield someone from accountability. Report abuse, no matter who is involved. Call TEARS: 08000 83277 #NoExcuses

TEARS was proud to stand alongside our community at the Benmore Centre Clean-Up Initiative earlier this month. If you, or someone you know has experienced abuse, contact TEARS today: 08000 83277. #TEARSFoundation #CommunityMatters #RippleEffect #CleanerGreener #BenmoreCleanUp

“Why didn’t they leave?” MYTH: Survivors can just leave abusive situations. FACT: Leaving can be the most dangerous time. Survivors may face threats, financial dependence, fear, or lack of safe alternatives. Support and understanding are critical.
