TW: Rape

A study has found that 27.6 per cent of South African men aged 18-49 have raped a woman.

In "Why, When and How Men Rape: Understanding Rape Perpetration In South Africa", men listed boredom, a sense of sexual entitlement and punishment as motivation for rape.

🧵⬇️
The men confessed to multiple rapes, adding that sometimes they raped women in groups as "entertainment".

A third of the men interviewed experienced no guilt and consequently had not experienced any form of punishment or consequence for their actions.
In August, over 80 men were accused of gang raping eight women and the armed robbery of a video production crew in Johannesburg.

According to the police, the gang forced their way into the video shoot and raped eight women aged between 18 and 35 from the cast.

A thread🧵

RT for others
You probably must have gotten this reaction or a similar one after calling a lady "beauty with brains".

Here are 5 reasons that line isn't a compliment.
1. Beauty with Brains: "You can be beautiful. You can be smart, but not both."

That line presents that for a woman to be both, she has to be so mind-blowing and EXTRA.

Around the world, economies are starting to open up and people have resumed their duties. As women, however, our bodies, our minds and our careers continue to walk the tightrope.

This week, we gathered stories about death, healing and resilience.
1. Ireland

The killing of a primary school teacher in Ireland, Ashling Murphy this week has prompted discussions online about women’s safety. Many women on social media have shared their experiences and perspectives on violence and misogyny.

Girls just wanna have fun? Apparently not in Egypt. A video of an Egyptian woman dancing went viral online, this led to her husband divorcing her and her employers sacking her. These actions have sparked fierce debates over women’s rights.
