In Episode 7, Saskia sits down with Sheriff Ramoabi, a grassroots activist who represents the incredible but lesser-known Rural Women’s Assembly and The Healing Circle.
In many rural communities today, there are no shelters, counsellors, or hotlines for women facing all types of abuse, while work opportunities remain slim.
Ramoabi shares how her initiatives, such as One Woman, One Hectare, are forging safe spaces, like private farming plots, where none exist, showing how communities step in when local support systems have broken down.
She says, “We can be the implementer of our own change.”
