Today, GreaterGood South Africa joins The Foschini Group CSI in supporting the 16 Days of Activism Against Violence from 25 November to 10 December 2009.

The 16 Days of Activism: No Violence Against Women is a United Nations campaign. On each of the 16 days, one non-profit organisation (NPO) will receive a donation towards the action they are taking against abuse from The Foschini Group CSI.
