No woman should feel unheard or unsafe in the spaces where she is meant to grow.
I am Tebatso Aphane, a daughter of Zebediela. I work in high-risk, male-dominated environments where safety is not just policy — it is the difference between going home whole or not at all.
SheWorks Safely was founded to transform workplace culture in South Africa, ensuring women in industry are protected, heard, and respected by design, not by chance.
Founder's Note
We rise in environments strong enough to protect our power.
Three lines of defence for women at work.
From the toolbox to the boardroom — practical safety conversations, psychosocial support, and policy reform aligned with the DMRE national guidance note.
Toolbox Talks
On-site safety conversations through Hard Hats and Safety Shoes — breaking the silence around harassment where the work happens.
Professional Network
Female psychologists, HR practitioners and legal professionals supporting women through reporting, recovery, and return.
Policy & Audits
Helping organisations align with the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy guidance on GBV and femicide in the workplace.
This is not just one woman's story.
The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy has issued a national guidance note on gender-based violence, femicide and the safety challenges faced by women in the workplace. SheWorks Safely exists to operationalise that response — site by site, shift by shift.
