Onlangse skokkende statistieke oor misdaad teenoor vroue het aan die lig gebring dat meer as 15 000 vroue in 2023 onder fisieke en seksuele geweld deurgeloop en meer as 960 vroue hul lewe verloor het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die destydse minister van polisie, Bheki Cele, het in \u2019n toespraak ges\u00ea \u201cte veel vroue en kinders in Suid-Afrika is nie veilig tussen die mense wat hulle ken en vertrou nie\u201d, en as \u2019n mens na die onlangse voorvalle in die Overberg kyk, is dit \u2019n feit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die onlangse dood van Deveney Nel van Grabouw, wat na bewering deur \u2019n medeleerder wreed om die lewe gebring is, en die saak van Dimpho Skelenge, wat na bewering deur haar k\u00earel vermoor is wat tans teregstaan vir haar moord (\u201cWomen\u2019s lives matter\u201d, Hermanus Times, <\/em>7 Augustus), is \u2019n bewys van die toenemende misdaad teen vroue en kinders deur mense wat hulle ken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Na aanleiding van die voorvalle en aangesien dit Vrouemaand is, het \u2019n klomp vroue van Grabouw Donderdag \u2019n vreedsame optog deur die strate van die dorp gehou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is tyd dat ons vroue opstaan teen geweld. Ons moet ons stemme dik maak,\u201d het Isabel Bailey, \u2019n gemeenskapsaktivis van Grabouw, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens haar loop te veel vroue onder geweldsmisdaad deur en kom die manne skotvry daarvan af. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs vrou wil ek ander vroue vra om die saak by die polisie te gaan aanmeld. Daar is baie meer geweldsmisdade teen vroue as wat ons dink, want ons vroue is te bang om dit te gaan aanmeld. As jy nie teen die geweldsmisdaad gaan opstaan nie, gaan jy altyd \u2019n slagoffer wees en gaan die mans, wat hulle skuldig maak aan die misdaad, skotvry daarvan afkom,\u201d het sy beklemtoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Charnel Hattingh, die kommunikasiebestuurder van Fidelity Services Group, is dit duidelik dat meer gedoen moet word om vroue veilig te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaar is \u2019n [groot] behoefte dat Suid-Afrikaners moet saamstaan en \u2019n omgewing moet skep waar vroue veilig voel. Kom ons gebruik Vrouemaand om mense oor di\u00e9 belangrike saak in te lig,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy het ook aanbeveel dat vroue \u2019n noodnommer altyd byderhand moet hou in geval sy in nood verkeer. \u201cVan die sekerheidsmaatskappye bied ook selfverdedigingskursusse aan. Dit kan ook baie help as jy jou in \u2019n situasie bevind waar jy jouself moet verdedig,\u201d stel sy voor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Onlangse skokkende statistieke oor
