#WomensMonth: How often do women report sexual offences?─── KATLEHO MORAPELA 11:59 Fri, 02 Aug 2019
As the country celebrates Women’s Month 2019 and the role played by women in South Africa’s liberation struggle, many are using social media platforms and several events held in their areas to highlight the plight still faced by women in societies.
The triple challenges of poverty, inequality, and unemployment are amongst the many socio-economic issues outlined to be those still placing women in the periphery. This, coupled with the abuse and sexual violation they sometimes experience at the hands of their male counterparts. OFM News’ Katleho Morapela speaks to the SAPS’ Family, Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offenses Unit in the Free State regarding investigations into such cases and the plight faced by women.
