End Sexual Violence
A volunteer
teaches children about sexual violence in Cape Town, South Africa.
Sexual violence against women, both within and outside marriage, leads
to unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, sexually-transmitted
infections and other gynecological and psychological problems that place
a wholly unnecessary burden on health services.
Cultural and social norms that place women in permanently subservient roles are a factor although experts find that the most important thing is the way children, especially boys, are brought up and socialized. From a young age they must be taught that violence against women is intolerable. (Source: Reuters)
