SPEAK UP! SPEAK OUT! STOP ABUSE NOW!

The 16 Days of Activism Against Abuse kicked off on 25 November (International Day of No Violence Against Women) and runs until 10 December (International Human Rights Day).

The Foschini Group CSI have conceptualised the 16 Days, 16 Charities campaign - a local initiative that will support and publicise local organisations and initiatives who may otherwise not be recognised for the outstanding work they're doing.

This year, in conjunction with media partners SAfm, City Press, GreaterGoodSA and MXit, as well as Anything Goes Video Production and Flat Stanley (who have given The Foschini Group CSI full rights to use their track ‘Song for the Broken Hearted’), the concept is to support 16 charities for 16 days – charities who all support victims of abuse.

16 non-profit organisations that meet the required CSI criteria have been short-listed, each receive a R20,000.00 donation towards their work from TFG CSI.

A large number of NPO’s are not widely recognised or acknowledged for their support of victims of abuse so by assisting them by increasing their exposure to the public, the campaign aims to build their profiles and to kick start support through the donation.

The 16 Days, 16 Charities puts the focus on initiatives and organisations who perhaps wouldn't ordinarily get this level of exposure. Click through here to learn more.
