SAWON Leadership Academy
The
leadership academy's goal is to teach youth leadership skills at the grassroots
level so that they can reach their full potential. . This
helps them to avoid falling into the trap of societal evils and a lack of
vision.
Founded by our CEO, Ms. Lucky Mthembu, The
Nokuthula Legacy, a core driver of SAWON GBV initiative, focusses on guaranteeing the
detection and resolution of gender-based violence from its underlying cause to
its actual manifestation by assisting perpetrators in dealing with their demons
and past traumas.
Nokuthula
means "Mother of Peace" and seeks to be a refuge ready to bring
bountiful peace to women and children seeking aid and liberation from the
trauma caused by their violent conditions. It also intends to advocate for peace
by rehabilitating males and empowering boys so that they do not develop
personality disorders that lead to them becoming abusive adults as a result of
trauma, cultural conditioning, and
unresolved concerns.

Our research points us a variety of factors with mostly the key factor being most vulnerable groups have no access to basic needs which often leave them at the mercy of their abusers. The empowerment of women starting from a very early age is important. The primary goal is to preserve women and children from violent situations (especially domestic abuse) by serving as a mechanism for restoring their sense of calm through independence and empowerment through support. Furthermore, it seeks to be a one-stop shop for rape victims, assisting both abuse victims and rape victims in their journey to liberation through therapy, life coaching, and empowerment.
