Pupils from Itirele-Zenzele Secondary School in Diepsloot, Johannesburg took part in a self-defence class on November 16 ahead of the UN’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based violence campaign. 

The class was part of a campaign by mobile power bank provider Adoozy, Woman INPowered and the Bear Foundation which aims to give young women the skills to be able to defend themselves against potential attackers.
