African Games boxing medallist helping empower women in Uganda
Sunday, 10 January 2021
African Games boxing bronze medallist Hellen Baleke is using her skills to empower women in her native Uganda by teaching them how to defend themselves.
Baleke is teaching women in Katanga, one of the most populated areas in Uganda’s capital city Kampala, the importance of self-defence.
Innocent Kapalata, the coach at Katanga’s Rhino Boxing Club where Baleke teaches and trains, revealed that more and more women are interested in learning how to defend themselves following an upsurge in violent crimes.
Baleke took up boxing after being groped and attacked when she was only 16.
