"Banulacht International Women’s Day Conference was a great lift for me in my aspiration to the principal roots for justice, equality and education for all women. This conference really has given me the opportunity to see a diversity of women from grassroots, national and globally and how I and we work in harmony in so many different ways to highlight the reality of women lives."

"Highlight was the invincible, joyful contagious creativity of Lebogang Mashile and fellow workshop facilitators amongst like-minded others."

"The idea of workshops based on tools for analysis and activism was a great one. Drama was pretty good and I've come away with some useful ideas to use."
"Great way of getting people to work together and get changed by this."
"A very interesting and magic way of getting a group to sing together in harmony and sounds and as a means of social change"
"It was a lovely experience. We sang songs asking the men for our voice to be heard in the society; we talked about freedom for women, stop abuse, equality etc."
"Fantastic and amazing experience. Wonderful facilitator."
"I never dared poetry before but I learned a lot about you can write anything. Lebo was brilliant."
"Strong impact, like a catalyst, confirming that expression arises out of lived experience, feelings and responses-words alone are not enough."
"Banúlacht is brave, passionate and invaluable."
