Mowbray police empower women through workshops on anti-bullying and gender-based violence

Mowbray police held a women’s workshop at Bertha House, Mowbray, earlier this month to speak to women on anti-bullying and gender-based violence.

Lieutenant Colonel Cleo Arnoldus said they worked in partnership with the Femmove non-profit, where they interacted with young ladies from the Great Girls non-profit on critical issues affecting the community on Saturday, July 12. “The workshop focused on important topics such as bullying, gender-based violence (GBV), self-discovery, and confidence building,” she said.

Lieutenant Colonel Arnoldus said this initiative highlighted the commitment of local law enforcement to engage with the community in addressing pressing social issues. “The workshop provided a valuable opportunity for participants to share perspectives and build relationships, ultimately contributing to a safer and more empowered community," she said.

Founder of Femmove, Megan Goliath said their organisation provides a holistic experience of dance, movement, and coaching to empower and uplift women. “In our progression towards wholeness, it is a self-love journey of honouring, respecting, celebrating, and loving yourself by feeling great from within,” she said.
