Our Logo
The yellow twisted loop that ends in a dragon head - this represents the dragon spirit and its embrace of the women as it encircles them. The bright yellow colour represents life and hope. The pink ladies - the grouping of the women together represents the strength we gain from each other and the fact that we are not alone…
