TRANSFORMATIVE TRAVEL
TRANSFORMATIVE TRAVEL
Today, BRAVE travels thousands of kilometres across South Africa and beyond on annual road trips to share girls' stories and amplify girls' voices.HOW DOES BRAVE WORK?
BRAVE uses an innovative, unconventional approach, training girls from urban and rural areas to become advocates for themselves, then taking them on road trips across their own countries, and beyond, to advocate for others.
BRAVE was founded by a group of ten year old girls from Manenberg, South Africa, in 2011 who wanted to make their gang-ridden community safer – and who called themselves Rock Girls after the anti-apartheid slogan, “When you strike a woman, you strike a rock”.
