Shaheda Omar is an eternal optimist. Throughout her two decades of working with abused children her motto has been, “wake up, make up and show up”.

Omar, clinical director of the Teddy Bear Clinic for Abused Children, has never taken a sick day in her 20-year career. Passion and tenacity drive her.

With the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown regulations, they have changed their approach in helping children. Omar said they have worked harder with fewer resources during the pandemic. They also donated masks to underprivileged communities and data to parents, enabling them to call for therapy. Omar said growing uncertainty and job security fears had a ripple effect on society’s emotional and physical wellbeing which often led to domestic violence.
