Only 11 days into 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence under the theme “Orange the World: End Violence against Women Now!”, GBV activists say SA still has a long way to go before ending what’s dubbed the “second pandemic”, as people still do not understand consent.
“Sexual coercion, for example, when someone pressures or manipulates you into having sexual contact when you don’t want to, because people do not understand what consent is. “Often, it’s someone the victim knows or even a romantic partner. The Tears Foundation said it best – ‘consent is important, as sex without consent is rape’. Coerced sex – where you consent under duress, is also rape,” she added.
Police Minister Bheki Cele recently released the latest crime statistics for between July and September this year.During the quarter, 897 women were murdered, 64 more than in the quarter from the previous year – an increase of 7.7%.
