CTAOP Program Partner Spotlight: Philisa Abafazi Bethu

CTAOP Program Partner Philisa Abafazi Bethu – which means "Heal Our Women" in isiXhosa – advocates for and serves survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence in Lavender Hill, Cape Town. This community-based organization provides medical, counseling, and legal support to survivors of gender-based violence and other abuse.

Founded in 2008 by Lucinda Evans, PAB also runs two safe houses, with one specifically for those who identify as LGBTQIA+. Other work centers around providing alternatives to joining gangs, offering programs for youth in and out of school, and a feeding program for women-headed households, older adults, those living with disabilities, children, and young people.

Hear from Lucinda, other team members, and those served by PAB on what makes the organization a "pillar" for the community.
