This is the story of a mother whose son was raped in 2010 at the age of 12 and whose case has been postponed and botched by the Court ever since. Please read it and help turn on the pressure, so that justice will be served soon.
The most dangerous place on earth is this land of sunny skies, warm and friendly people, tremendous diversity and vibrant natural beauty. It is this South Africa.
Rape (and gender-based violence) is one of the biggest problems we have in South Africa.
Are we talking to the wrong people about rape? My husband thinks so and I tend to agree. Yes, we must talk to the victims. They need comfort, encouragement and the information that will put their rapists in prison. However we need to do more to prevent rape and for that, we need to talk to rapists.
