South
Africa is often called the "center of the world rape," and an estimated
70 percent of women have experienced sexual violence there. On Tuesday
((8/1)), five men attacked and raped by a gang of a young woman in the
capital, Pretoria. Police said the young woman was in line on Tuesday
evening to register at Tshwane University of Technology. Five people
dragged her into the bushes, raped her and stole her money and cell
phone. Police said no suspects were arrested. A student in New Delhi was
gang-raped by six men, beaten and eventually died last month, horrible
act sparked mass protests across India. Victim's father has recently
announced the names of victims throughout the world. Her name is Jyoti,
in Hindi means "light." Bad luck of women India has focused world
attention on the epidemic of rape in India. Five of the six suspects
have been started on trial in New Delhi and charged with gang rape,
kidnapping, and murder. The rapid processing of cases, has never
happened before in India, where prosecutors usually take months to
prepare for the demands.
However,
in South Africa, said the activist Zubeda Dangor, there is the
possibility of horrific cases of sexual violence against female students
it will be quickly forgotten by the public. Dangor, a descendant of
India, is the president of NGO Nisaa Institute for Women's Development.
Name of the organization that are not oriented religion was taken from
Surat Al-Quran contains verses about women's rights. "Why is the South
African society does not react to a situation like this? The lesson we
can take from the experience of India is that we should be able to be
assertive. We are a society that has a history perjuanganan, united. We
organized for the liberation of South Africa, but we can not seem to act
together against sexual violence, "he said.
South
African police recorded more than 64,000 cases of rape last year. That
figure includes only the reported cases. Sexual violence is one of the
least reported crimes in the world. A 2010 study found that nearly a
quarter more South African men admitted to raping a girl or a woman. One
in seven men admitted to having raped a gang.A South African police
spokesman refused to comment on this news, but he said police are
determined to fight against sexual violence. But wait until they are
successful, there is a possibility that tomorrow, approximately 175 more
South African girls and women will experience rape
