Rape Day response: SA urged to ban games that promote violence against women | IOL

Avon has announced that it has committed its full support to the 1000 Women Trust petition, which aims to change local legislation to ban the release and availability of any video game that promotes violence against women.

“As a responsible corporate citizen, committed to the protection of South Africa’s women through our stand4her initiative, we simply could not stand by while platforms that glorify violence and rape actually exist in our world,” says Katlego Modipane, senior PR and corporate affairs specialist of Avon.

“This initiative is also especially poignant in the month of Human Rights Day, whereby all South Africans - women and men - are being reminded of their right to human dignity, equality and freedom, as well as recent cultural movements to highlight sexual harassment and abuse such as #MeToo.”
