South Africa has the shameful status as the most unequal society measured by its Gini co-efficient with women bearing a disproportional brunt of this high inequality. With inequality comes many other forms of social injustices such as racism, gender stereotypes, patriarchy, violence, precarious employment and unemployment, and capitalist exploitation, all of which continue to dominate South African society. While these injustices affect both women and men, women experience simultaneous and multiple forms of oppression and discrimination (e.g. race, class and gender) on a daily basis. Statistics South Africa reports in its Victims of Crime Survey (2016/2017) that one in five individuals, mainly women, experienced a sexual offence, and sexual victimisation of women is more than twice the rate for men. This publication has been developed as an activist tool to guide trade union action against violence.
