| 2018 - Introducing the F2F with Burns Campaign "Face to Face" Burn Survivors will NOT live apologising to the world for being victims of accidents and often abuse that changed the course of their lives. cigarette burns; acid attacks; open flame abuse - caused in domestic violence; child abuse; crimes of passion; human trafficking that has become our modern day sex and labour slave market. Fire accidents and explosions - Victimisation of child burn survivors must be harshly dealt with. Bullying and stigma attached to burns and scars must go! Bullying and all forms of abuse must be fought relentlessly - The use of fire to maim, kill and disable must result in harsher penalties ' these attacks have lifelong consequences for victims. ******Our campaign will encourage all communities who have suffered abuse of bigotry and prejudice and threats of burns - like victims of xenophobia - to join us in helping to raise awareness of violence through fire and acid attacks. We will call on women to stand and fight on behalf of their sisters who battle through endless pain and trauma to rise and find the essence in beauty that goes beyond what the world sees. Women must be brought face to face with how burns affects the life of a woman And men must understand that the hunter is forced to change his profile and MO. There are a few pertinent questions that will be raised during this time -*WHERE ARE THE BURN SURVIVORS OF SOUTH AFRICA *WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THEY ARE DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL *WHY ARE THEY NOT SEEN IN THE WORKPLACE *OF ALL DISABILITIES AND TRAUMA BURNS RECEIVES THE LEAST PUBLIC SUPPORT OR AWARENESS *WHY ARE BURNS NOT CONSIDERED A DISABILITY WHEN PUBLIC STIGMA FRUSTRATES SOCIAL AND WORKPLACE INTEGRATION. *IF BURNS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF ABUSE AND SEXUAL OFFENCE/ TRAFFICKING WHY DO ORGANISATIONS NOT HELP RAISE AWARENESS OR SUPPORT BURNS ORGANISATIONS IN THEIR MISSION FOR BURNS SUPPORT AND MANAGEMENT. A RAPED WOMAN OR CHILD WHO ALSO SUSTAINS BURNS INJURIES NEEDS TRAUMA SUPPORT AT MANY LEVELS - *WHY ARE DEGREES OF BURNS NOT LISTED AMONGST DISABILITIES IN SAHRC FRAMEWORK. *WHERE IS THE PROTECTION FOR SURVIVORS FROM THE SAHRC (South African Human Rights Commission) If you are a burn survivor and or have friends or family members who are, please let your voice be heard When you see a survivor please show them compassion - try to understand the course of their lives and make a difference - be the difference. Tell them about us. Society must be brought face to face with a reality that demands altered perspectives on humanity and what exactly is required of them - communities must be made to understand the fragile existence they live and how quickly the course of their history can change when they too need support and love that goes beyond reason.
