# The City of Cape Town says 19 learners from the Leap Science and Maths school in Langa recently participated in the Women and Girls Visible Force of Resilience Programme. The programme is inspired by the United Nations’ efforts to highlight the contribution of women in disaster risk reduction. Mayoral committee member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, says the pupils learnt about various hazards, including flooding, fires in informal settlements, wind events, drought, heatwaves, and other severe weather events:
