The Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children [SBCWC] is a ‘one-stop’ centre for women and children who experience domestic and/or sexual violence. The SBCWC serves as a model of service clustering and entrepreneurial spirit by women for their own economic and social empowerment. The Centre houses organisations with which it has forged strategic partnerships to provide comprehensive intervention programmes to both the Shelter residents and local communities. “The overall aim of the Centre is to develop a replicable model of a one-stop centre for women, which is sensitive to gender, ‘race’ and sexual orientation” (Maharaj, 2006, p. 9). The intervention programmes include counselling, support, and training in fields such as trauma, rape, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, contraception, and parenting skills (2006, Maharaj).
