The Red Brigades are a group of young women led by Usha, 25, who after an attempted rape began talking about abuse with her students, aged around 14 to 18 years old. Usha founded the Red Brigades in November 2010. They act in self-written plays on gender equality around villages and cities, take part to protests and also teach self-defence classes. Most of the girls in the group have experienced some kind of abuse in their past. They sing words such as "all sisters are breaking all the rules, boundaries, come to bring a new world, change will come," and "for how long do we have to go through this?" and "the country has freedom, but girls do not have freedom."

  • Children are roaming in the streets of Langa township, an impoverished area of Cape Town. Poverty and AIDS are collaborating in the creation of millions of orphans throughout the whole of Africa. Many of them will end up committing crimes, prostituting or living on the street. Numerous organisation provides now help for street children, but without an integral and reliable governmental response to the crises, it can't be solved. International donors should provide help targeted at developing poor areas and employment, in unison with fighting HIV/AIDS and carrying on education programmes.A greater distribution of ARVs and poverty alleviation would also enhance to chances of the parents to educate and love their children. Living with HIV means also not dying  prematurely, leaving young children where they were struggling to survive.
