"Very sick and very tired."

"It seems women are still not a priority in this country. We work with a grassroots charity in CT in a small area; women are abused daily, and the children are farmed out to swap sex for food. I struggle constantly to get SAPS assistance because they are paid by gangs. And even if the women lay a complaint, they will only be punished more. However bad you think it is, it's 20 times worse. We have driven in there to collect lots of victims because the police and ambulance won't get people to the hospital. Sorry for ranting; I feel at the end of my wits' end... I'm even more scared for women in Joburg! I think it's much worse there!"
