Now, talking to Briefly News in another exclusive, Marion explains that helping women and children who have been harmed is one of the main projects her NGO is involved in:

“We currently have three women with their children in our home [whom we] rescued.

“We [help them by] finding them jobs and places to live, giving back their dignity and opportunities to start over.”

Marion, who is a top 15 finalist of the Supreme Queen Global Earth Africa Pageant, believes that more people should unite to stand against GBV during the 16 Days of Activism and beyond:

“Uniting as one voice makes the sound louder for our nation, not just during the 16 days but all year round.

“Women should unite. We are not being heard. Our justice system is failing us and turning a blind eye to a world crisis.
