RFI: Statistics about rape in South Africa
------------------------------------------
Dear Sir/Madam,
my name is Yeni and I am a freelance writer. I have been reading
about the appalling rate of rape in South Africa, and would like to
document this in the press in the UK. This is not something we are
aware of in this country, and awareness could bring pressure groups
in to fight for human rights as did happen with Apartheid with the
contribution of international pressure.
Could you send me a reply with the following information:
1. The number of crisis centres that have sprung up, and the rate at
which these numbers increase;
2. Whether these rapes have led to murders or suicides;
3. The role the Church plays in the situation;
4. What sort of campaigns have been done in the past;
5. How it got to such appalling proportions;
6. Have any men been raped;
7. Have any women been raped more than once?
These will give me the information I need to write about this to
various publications, and thus take it from there.
Thank you for your help.
Tayo Yeni
