“Despite a rights-based country, and the protection of the Constitution, we cannot ignore the deplorable trend of femicide and the physical and sexual violence too many women endure, De Lille said in a statement.
Fifty-nine years ago, on 21 March 1960, the violent and inhumane apartheid state mowed down 249 people who were peacefully protesting the “Pass Laws” that disenfranchised black South Africans. “On the 21st March we pause to acknowledge those who sacrificed everything for South Africa to achieve democracy and a Constitution with a Bill of Rights that protects every South African.”
“On this Human Rights day I make a call to every man and every woman to respect the rights of girls and women and to end this scourge of femicide and violence.”
