\u201cWe\u2019ll never go anywhere if we don\u2019t bring our men together. If we don\u2019t push ourselves in confidence in talking about violence against women when the perpetrators are not there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event has concluded with an award ceremony for women who are active in Cape Town and around the world, as well as a pledge for peace.<\/p>\n
