Support group protects rape survivors
Aphelele Mtotywa is the Manager of the Makana Rape Survivor Support Group. Here she tells us about the organisation and how to access the assistance it offers.
The Makana Rape Survivor Support Group is a Gender Based Violence (GBV) non-profit organisation that was established in 2002. It is responsible for the whole of Makana – Makhanda, Alicedale, Riebeeck East, Seven Fountains, Salem, Fort Brown and surrounding farms. We cater for both female and male victims of any GBV act.
The organisation has eight caregivers who offer emotional and some psychological support to our survivors. Our aim is to prevent secondary traumatisation.
