Fortunately, in Bredasdorp, South Africa there is a safe house for women. It is protected by barbed wire, dogs and security. No men are allowed to enter and there is no place for violence here. The women, most of whom have suffered multiple traumas, find a safe oasis with community worker Lana and her team. We follow Lana’s work, in which courage and despair go hand in hand, over several years. Dayela Valenzuela
