Will it ever come to an end?

Gender based violence has been escalating in a very alarming way in our country. Women are not safe in the hands of men, the very same men who are supposed to protect us are the ones who violet us.

Statistics show that 1 in 25 women is a victim of rape and only a few cases are opened.
Are women in South Africa safe?
Are the young girls safe?
Imagine having to live in fear because someone else sees your body as a crime scene? The problem is not with how women dress the problem is how men handle themselves, the problem is that the society blames us for wearing clothes that we are comfortable in.

 How many rape and murder cases have been reported only in August? And how many of them have been solved? Only a handful I suppose, that's if they are really solved

Enough Is Enough, let us stand as one, fight against gender based violence. In the near future we will not have women to celebrate because all of us will be in the graveyards.

We the victims yet we still get blamed, the perpetrators are turned out to be victims, when we report rape cases the first question we are asked is "What were you wearing?" Why am I not asked what the perpetrator was wearing?
Why should what I was wearing be an issue?

Whenever rape cases are reported clothes are always an issue? Did the 8-month year old baby wear revealing clothes that actually lured you to rape them? Did the 75-year old granny wear short skirts?
What I am wearing should not be a justification for you to rape me
