Description: "Violence against women and girls in South Africa is widespread and imposes significant suffering and hardship - not only on those individual women who fall victim to such crimes, but also their families and communities who are themselves often left bewildered, disrupted and angry in the aftermath of such violence. These high physical, psychological, social and economic costs make it imperative not only to put appropriate and adequate assistance in place to support those who experience such abuse, but also to devise measures that prevent these harms from occurring in the first place"--Foundation for Human Rights website.
