They later got to chat to Thora, who gave them a breakdown of statistics and outcomes of the number of women and children who step through their doors. In 2018 alone, there have been over 800 cases of abuse reported to the centre.

Darren and Sky then got to speak to three young women who were living in the centre and were receiving treatment for sexual and emotional abuse. 

In an interview like never before, Darren and Sky felt the true meaning of oppression and suppression against women.

The Open Door Crisis Centre is an incredible safe haven that acts as the voice for the voiceless, but unfortunately, supplies are short. Both Darren and Sky's hearts are pleading with the people of KZN to help or show support in some way.
