You & Rape

This booklet is our contribution to sharing the information we’ve gathered

Published by Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust

In 1992, the Natal Midlands Black Sash, Rape Crisis, and a number of other women’s organisations in Pietermaritzburg began a public rape education programme. This programme was the result of the rising number of rapes, and the need for society to support men and women who have been raped in a way that restores their dignity. It was designed to support rape survivors in bringing their attackers to trial - if that is what the survivor chooses to do. Although rape is a difficult subject for many people to discuss, men and women need to share their experiences as rape survivors in order to help and strengthen each other. This booklet is our contribution to sharing the information we’ve gathered from our experience over the years. The book has been updated several times. With this latest update, Rape Crisis has included the new sexual offences act and recent information regarding medical and social aspects of rape.
