Sonke Gender Justice has called on Government to follow through with its obligations to prevent Gender Based Violence.
This follows the rape and setting
alight of a 9-year-old girl in Delft this
past weekend.
Statistics show that every 30
seconds a child is raped and some estimates that nearly 1.5million rapes occur
in the country annually.
Sonke Gender Justice Spokesperson
Patrick Godana said it undermines the efforts that that the organisation has
been campaigning for, for the past year.
Godana further called on government
to ensure that perpetrators get the right full punishment that would deter
other would be criminals not to commit crime.
