Protect women and girls

But violence against women has been going on for so long that it has become a part of the culture of humanity - and a blind eye is turned on the various forms of it against womenfolk. Yet it can be prevented if humanity recognises it for the vile crime it is.

Every second a woman is raped somewhere in the world. By the time you reach this sentence more than 20 women and girls would have been raped around the world. Many more would have been assaulted, verbally abused or even murdered. For women, there is no place to run. They are discriminated against and humiliated in the home, the workplace, in sports, in the classroom and even in the hallowed church halls and courtrooms. Remember Reverend Mmoniemang Kgosiemang?
