Femicide rates in SA are 5 times worse than the global average. 40% of South African women are raped in their lifetime but only 8.6% of perpetrators are jailed many even get reduced sentences and parole.
In 2018/19 An average of 114 rape cases are recorded by the police everyday. A total of 2771 women were murdered and 1014 children were murdered. 52 420 sexual offence cases were reported.
In 2009 more than 25% of men in the KZN and EC admitted to raping someone. More than half of them said they had raped more than one person. In 2010 more than 37.4% of men in GP admitted to raping someone. In 2014/15 more than 15% of men in the WC raped someone they didn& #39;t know.
Nearly 3/4 of these men stated that they had forced a woman or girl into sex before the age of 20. Nearly 1 in 10 admitted to doing so before the age of 10! And men ages 20-40 are more likely to have raped another male.
In 2007 60% of boys & girls aged 10-19 y/o thought it was okay to force sex upon someone they knew.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😵" title="Benommenes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Benommenes Gesicht"> Among 1500 school children in JHB a 1/4 of all the boys interviewed said gang rape was fun.

Many girls are subjected to sexual violence at school. Schools often deal with it internally hindering justice against the perpetrator. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED! the danger of sexual violence has created a barrier for girls to seek education & after incidents girls performance suffers
