This book celebrates 20 years of the 1000 Women 1 Voice Trust, a movement dedicated to tackling domestic violence and empowering women in South Africa. Since its inception in 2003, 1000 Women has created awareness, organised safe spaces, and mobilised resources to amplify the voices of women and girls. The anniversary book reflects on key milestones, including campaigns like HearMeToo and War on Hunger, as well as the challenges and triumphs of grassroots women’s organisations over the years. It also highlights the collaborative work of women leaders and activists, from projects supporting survivors of violence to initiatives like the Restart Campaign, which helped re-employ women affected by COVID-19. Through the words of key ambassadors and champions, this book tells the story of a powerful and sustained fight against gender-based violence and for women’s rights in South Africa.
