South Africa’s terrible stats of violence against women.

This is horrifying.
A WOMAN is raped every 10 minutes in South Africa, one is beaten up every six minutes – and seven women are murdered, on average, every day.
This harrowing picture of widespread brutality against women and young girls emerged from the police annual crime statistics released this week.
The police figures show that rape increased nationally by 4% between April 2004 and March 2005. Countrywide, 55 114 cases were reported. Sixty percent of the victims were adult women, and 40% children.
