“[There is] another pandemic that is raging in our country—the killing of women and children by men,” Ramaphosa said. South Africa has one of the highest rates of violence against women in the world; a woman is murdered every three hours. ...
"'Honour killings' underline the patriarchy of the family, caste, class, community or religion. 'Even before caste and class, it is patriarchy that condemns a woman for exercising her bodily autonomy to choose her partner.'" #SexNotGender ...
"Under the lockdown, Savadye is one of a band of female activists in Africa pushing for stronger laws to protect women trapped indoors with abusers from a surge in violence, and also a spike in HIV infections." #SexNotGender https://t.co/E6rqC4...
