Mary Tal is a refugee from Cameroon and the Project Director of Whole World Women Association (WWWA), a refugee women focus group based in Cape Town.
The group is a safe space for refugee women from all over Africa to come and share their experiences, gain skills and information about issues affecting women, especially refugees. With all the stories that have been written by the women themselves, WWWA has managed to publish a story and poetry book called 'Living on the fence'.
