question 2.
2.2 ‘The
cold hard facts’
Define– Rape and sexual abuse against
women and children, South Africa is claimed to be the Rape Capital of the
world.
Discover– South Africa has the highest
rate of sexual abuse against women and children. As Statistics says from the
Criminal Law (Sexual offences and related matters) amended act of 2007, South
Africa is one of the country where sexual abuse actions are still common, as
the country has the highest rate child and baby rape in the world with
more than 67,000 cases of rape and sexual assaults against children reported in
2000, with welfare groups believing that unreported incidents could be up to 10
times higher. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#South_Africa)
Dream–Through creating campaigns
that will gather people together and try to address these problems and find
ways of redressing it. Creating more awareness of this problem through
Television, Radio and the internet, where we have to broadcast the messages of
the issue and ways on how we can try to solve them. It is believed that
communication is the process of solving an issue.
Design– As the country we can
involve the processes of therapy and counselling. Convince the victims to share
their stories to other people, so this could help the vulnerable ones to be
aware of the future actions of the offenders. Bring more man on campaigns like
Brothers for Life, encouraging more females to also engage on campaigns like
Zazi.
Deliver- The
nation of South Africa can create more TV stories, movies or series that will
publish information about this issues. This will create more awareness on what
South Africa is trying to deal with, thus this will perhaps make people to
stand up and talk about this issue.
Debrief- Our
primary solution is to create more awareness on the problem and try to bring
people closer and to redress it in a more adequate manner. We will also be more
focused on the causes of these problems, what must be done and what have to be
implemented.
