Rape of prostitutes: a tool of male power and control? - Merab Kambamu Kiremire

Cases of gender-segregated rape abound across southern African countries. The media report horrendous cases of rape of mainly females of all ages, from tiny infants, to toddlers, young adolescents, teenagers, and adults by men of all ages and social and economic backgrounds. This briefing is based on research in Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe over a period of 11 years. This research indicates that rape dominates all prostitution-based gender violence.
