Our aim is to work in partnership with organisations and the community in ending violence against women and children and provide care and support to victims of trauma and abuse. Our goal is to empower individuals, families and the community by transformation. We envision a community that is safe and healthy, where families and communities thrive.

Amanzimtoti Trauma Unit / Turning Point “Qhakaza” is a Non-Profit Organization with a 18A exempt certificate. Our organization started in September 2009 due to the increase of GBV cases within our community. Our office is situated at 1 Queens Terrace, Doonside, KwaZulu Natal. During the recent years there have been various legal developments aimed to improve the position of women in the area of GBV, domestic violence, sexual offenses and family law. Although our constitutional privilege has provided the vehicle for legislative and judicial intervention to deal with violence against women and to empower these women, the number of GBV, domestic violence cases are still on the rise. Our aim is to educate and create a world free of sexual assault, GBV, domestic violence and child abuse.
