TEARS was proud to participate in the EMPACT Wellness Event, Celeste Louw (GM), shared insights on supporting survivors of GBV and Sexual Violence across South Africa. A highlight of the day was meeting rugby legend Bryan Habana. Together, we can build safer communities. 💙

“South Africa does not lack policies; it lacks political courage & implementation.” TEARS Founder Mara Glennie calls for urgent reform to address GBV, forensic backlogs, and failing support systems. Awareness alone is not enough. #EndGBV #TEARSFoundation iol.co.za/weekend-argus/…

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
