Women inspired by Philippa Sklaar

OWN CORRESPONDENT

The room full of women listened in shocked silence as Philippa shared her story of abuse, and spoke about what life is like for abused women the world over – possibly even someone you know. They heard what it means to be abused, why abused women find it so difficult to leave their abusers, and what can be done to help someone who might be in a similar situation.

It was an enlightening morning on an important topic for WIZO, which has made women’s empowerment a priority across the globe.
