Combating Sexual Violence in South Africa
-----------------------------------------
More than 50,000 cases of rape were reported to South African police in
1996. With financial support from IDRC, the Johannesburg Southern Met-
ropolitan Local Council in partnership with CIETafrica launched a 'so-
cial audit' in 1997 to investigate the causes of rape and other forms
of sexual violence. Already, this study has amassed the largest and
most detailed body of information on sexual violence in Africa. Some of
the findings may help communities, police, and social service workers
address the problem more effectively.
