In this article Robyn Curnow of CNN talks
about how a 17-year-old girl what killed after being raped. This tragedy
happens too often all around Africa, and it’s a major problem. 71% of women in
South Africa have reported sexual abuse alone. This rape, and murder is taking
people by surprise, so many people are utterly shocked that something this
terrible could have happened. Two men have been arrested and charged with
murder and rape, and the same will be done to the third. Some people are saying
this rape is a turning point, people talk about it all of the time, it’s on the
radio on an average of every four minutes. People all around the world are so
shocked as to how much this has affected South Africa.
This
is so devastating; I can’t believe something this terrifying could happen to
someone. I’m so sorry for all of her family and friends, and wish someone could
help them. I am glad that they are getting justice on the men who did this
terrible thing. If only someone could bring his or her daughter, sister, wife,
or friend back.
I think this is terrible. I was surprised that 71% of women in South Africa have reported sexual abuse. That's high!
ReplyDeleteThis is scary to think that 71% of women have had to go through this ugly abuse.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this has happened so much that its effects on the psyche of the women sexually assaulted has less of an impact, since that kind of thing happens a lot more often.
