So with the help of my local UNISON Branch in Swindon have organised a Dignity. Period Benefit Concert on the 30th September in the Mailcoach, Swindon. The concert is FREE and is about raising awareness although a collection will be held. For those in the area local bands will be playing throughout the day starting at 2.00pm. P.S. We have had abusive phone calls from Robert Magabee supporters who have called us liars and that Thabitha and other Zimbabwean women living in Swindon are only asylum seekers who are not “true” Zimbabweans. These callers have even stated that information about the concert has been asked for by the Zimbabwean Government. How’s that for just a small local event?

She made such a moving speech the whole conference was in tears. We raised a fair amount of money for her sanitary protection campaign and we are writing to branches and regions for their financial support. Sanitary protection is something our members take for granted so they will be shocked to hear of the Zimbabwean women's plight. Your blog came up when I googled the campaign Hello Antonia
