Now in its fifth edition, this successful journal is written by South African girls and women who have been the victims of abuse--and their contest-winning poems, short stories, and personal essays come from established writers as well as fresh new talents. Based on the idea that creative writing aids the healing process, these selections describe the struggle to survive, the difficulty of reconciling past and present lives, and the enduring nature of the human spirit.
The POWA Women's Writing Competition is sponsored by People Opposing Women Abuse, a nongovernmental organization that researches gender-based violence in Africa.
