As International Women's Day focuses the world’s attention on ending violence against women, we hear about a centre in South Africa that is helping women escape abuse and build new lives for themselves and their children.
An inspiring home in South Africa is providing a safe space, and a helping hand to a new life, for women and children fleeing from domestic violence.
Founded more than 20 years ago, Bethany House has saved more than 1,300 women and children from a life of abuse and given them the confidence and practical help needed to ensure they can stand on their own once again.
