Wide protests have erupted in South Africa following a mother’s public outcry regarding the rape of her 7-year-old daughter, Cwecwe*. Frustrated by the lack of progress in the police investigation six months after the incident, she took to social media to raise awareness. The case has sparked urgent demands for better access to justice for rape survivors and accountability in handling sexual violence crimes. The hashtag #JusticeForCwecwe is trending, with thousands participating in demonstrations, while organization Equality Now calls for expedited justice and systemic changes to address the country's high rates of sexual violence and low conviction.
Africa is required to protect women and girls from sexual violence according to international human rights standards. While the government has established legal frameworks to combat this issue, more effective implementation is necessary. As a signatory to various international agreements, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Maputo Protocol, South Africa's laws regarding the prevention of sexual violence are rooted in its Constitution, which upholds individual rights.
