The JCC condemns violence against women and girls and encourages health seeking behaviour for men
The reports of an assault on a nurse by an irate motorist, the disappearance and presumed death of Anisa Dilworth, a student of the University of Technology and the killing of young Kelsey Ferrigon, all in quick succession, have once again jarred the conscience of the nation and elicited its outrage. These incidents of violence against women and girls are painful to acknowledge and distressing to our souls. The promise of fulfilment of dreams for the young have been summarily cut short and the scars of the trauma caused by the horror of abuse must now be navigated by surviving victims. We grieve with the families and acquaintances of these victims and extend our sympathies and prayers for their comfort.
