As we commemorate South Africa National Women's Day, Gender Links spoke to ordinary women about the challenges they face every day.
In an accompanying story, Doreen Gaura writes that the link between many women's organisations and the realities of women's every day lived experience has become tenous. She spoke to women from informal settlements about the issues that matter to them. This photo essay documents their conversation.
Every Wednesday more than 20 women from the informal settlements of Fine Town, Grasmere, Lawley Two and Katok in Johannesburg's Ennerdale neighbourhood gather at the Extension Nine local library to discuss their problems and offer support to each other.
Doreen Gaura is the Communications Officer at Gender Links. This article is part of the GL Opinion and Commentary Service.
