The Tanya Vlok Foundation
OUR VISION
To eradicate emotional, psychological, financial, and physical domestic abuse from society.
To act as a knowledge hub and supporter of other expert charities and service providers.
It’s Time For Change
There are too many victims, too many deaths.
Too much police and court time used with zero impact.
Society has normalised abuse.
The system doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want to understand.
It will end here.

Domestic abuse is a crime. It is any incident, or pattern of incidents of controlling and coercive behaviours, used by one person to maintain control over another with whom they have, or have had an intimate or family relationship.
Simply put, domestic abuse is when one person harms another.
In the vast majority of cases, the harm is perpetrated by men and experienced by women.
