Meet Jeannette Uwiragiye, a woman with a passion for hair who is forging lasting relationships among the women of Delft.

POSITIVE PARENTING
Many shades of fatherhood in South Africa
“Just because a father is not living with his children does not necessarily mean that he is an uninvolved father or not involved in childcare,” write Sonke’s Wessel van den Berg and Tawanda Makusha of the Human Sciences Research Council, in this Independent Online article on the newly released State of South Africa’s Fathers Report.

What we’re reading
MAIL & GUARDIAN
Hated at home, queer exiles find cold comfort in SA
“Queer asylum seekers from all over Africa hope to find refuge in South Africa, a country whose Constitution famously forbids discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. But they don’t always receive the welcome they are expecting.”
THE CONVERSATION
Xenophobia in South Africa: why it’s time to unsettle narratives about migrants
“The problem of focusing on migrants’ rights and victimization is that it does little to hold the political and criminal elements leading – and benefiting – from the violence against migrants responsible.”
GROUNDUP
The protection of women’s rights begins with childhood
“If we want to improve safety of women, we must begin with the protection and safety of all children from harm as a matter of priority.”
