Launch of the 1st for Women POWA House

Date of event: 
27 November 2009

POWA will officially launch the first second-stage housing facility for abused women in Gauteng. The apartment building, centrally located in Bellevue-East, Johannesburg, was purchased for People Opposing Women Abuse (POWA) by 1st for Women Insurance Brokers.

The second stage housing facility is available to survivors of gender-based violence, with or without children, on a rent-geared-to-income basis. Second stage housing enhances survivors’ ability to live violent free lives on a long term basis. Coming from abusive experiences this serves as a bridging program for women to begin to live independently and to take control of their lives.
