Triangle Project has been nominated for the National Department of Social Development's Service Excellence Award for our work with victims of violence. While the winners will only be announced tonight, we want to recognise that there are still too many activists, too many organisations and women's collectives who are doing this work and will remain unheard and unrecognised. Most of all at the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Violence we remember the victims. Another world is possible.
