South Africa’s femicide rate is once again on the rise. According to reports, approximately 51 percent of South African women have experienced physical violence of some kind. Furthermore, a woman is killed every three hours in the country. These statistics reveal a horrible truth: women in South Africa are NOT SAFE.cynthia_doubell.jpeg
