Last week brought powerful moments of unity and hope. 🌟
The SAJBD proudly participated in two major interfaith gatherings, the Faith–Governance Conference hosted by the and the Gauteng Ethics & Anti-Corruption Council.

The SAJBD stood with the women of South Africa and joined the G20 Women’s Shutdown. For 15 minutes, we lay in unity on the floor at Constitution Hill as the names of GBV victims were read - a stark reminder of the daily reality faced by so many women and children in our country.
