16 days of Activism against Women and Children Abuse:
CONS – Women and child abuse is an immense issue in South Africa. It is a subject that everyone should be mindful of throughout the year, not just for two weeks in August.
PROS – Many occurrences of abuse of girl children and women happen within the home. Because of this it is often concealed from public view. However, two weeks that center on the issue give victims an opportunity to understand that they do not need suffer these situations, and sometimes to speak out and seek counselling.
