"How safe do you feel walking at night? In this episode of #TheWomxnShow, we speak to Amrita Pande, organiser of the Women Walk at Midnight movement where women literally gather in various areas to walk together at night to raise awareness about around women's lack of freedom to walk safely at night. We're also joined by Ncumisa (Mimi) Mavundla who co-hosted the Khayelitsha walk. Catch #TheWomxnShow every Sunday at 6pm on Cape Town TV and DSTV 263. The Womxn Show is made possibly through funding by the Ford Foundation."
