...and have been for over a year and a bit now.

The work that Amnesty does in this field is vital and is worthy of support. By joining Amnesty one can contribute toward their work as well as getting newsletters that keep one up to date. They also can bea way into writing letters and cards to those in prison for their Political beliefs, many of them women who live in cultures where they are poorly represented. Writing to them proves to the authorities that these people are valued from beyond their shores and can lead to early release.

But I am going to tell you this because I was hit by my husband when I was pregnant with our three child.  It was on an weekend,  we have been aruging since Friday night.  But it was on an Sunday afternoon.  Well, I go mad at him but take someone to work and that Friday was in an room with one of the sister's but anyhow, he was drinking some beer.  When I told him that I hate that  he is pick this girls and take them to work because there was an rumor that was spread around about him and those three girls.  So, when I was speaking to him, he grab my both arms and slam me against the closet door on the trailer.  Our next -door call the frond office because she had her son sleep and there was too much noise so that he couldn't sleep at all.  But she called the trailer and told me to keep it down and I told her okay but he was so mad at me that he slap me on the side of my face on the right side and also hit my ear.  My son saw it and went to the office and had the lady that works in the office to called the police.  The police come out and arrest him for the violence.

I'm just new to Care2 but am so grateful to become more informed of the greater percentage of atrocities that women and children endure so unnecessarily. I simply cannot understand this, other than to presume that poverty and lack of empowerment over their own lives brings about anger and frustration, and the weaker more vulnerable cop it simply because of this. I believe that there should be more support in the form of free counseling and education as early intervention is cheaper in the long term. Keep up the good work.

A recent Interpol study has shown that South Africa leads the world in rapes.

It is estimated (only about 5% of rapes are actually reported) that a woman is raped every 17 seconds in South Africa.

Findings of a Medical Research Council survey, released last week, indicate that 1 in 4 South African men admit to rape.

At least 50 children in South Africa are raped every day.  Some of them are still infants.

It is believed, by some sections of the community, that having sex with a virgin is a cure for AIDS.
